Abstract:

A miscellaneous assortment of correspondence and other papers kept by George W. Taggert and his descendants. Family letters, a diary by Taggert in 1838, and reminiscences written in 1928 by his daughter, Hannah Taggert Patchin, describe the emigration of the family from New York state to a farm near Rochester, Racine County, Wis., in 1838, and their move in 1850 to Waupaca County, where Taggert operated a general store at Weyauwega and held a number of county and local offices. One account book for the general store, 1855-1867, is present, as is a decision book from Taggert's service as justice of the peace, 1871-1876.
