Diary of Ellen Birdseye Wheaton and Family History: Digitized and Updated by Katharine E Wagner

Family history as American History. Even if you are not a descendant of this early American family, you will experience the day to day life of an Upstate New York family that was engaged in the shaping of the United States of America from its earliest days to the Civil War. If you are exploring family history broadly or are one of the many descendants of the individuals in this book, you will quickly discover how interesting family can be. If you are not a descendant of this early family, you will surely be inspired to document your personal story for the benefit of future generations of Americans.
