Collection Overview
Correspondence and financial and legal papers relating to the Snider family of Chambersburg, Pa., and to Porter Sacket (died 1837) of Natchez, Miss. The principal focus of this material is the child, apparently fathered by Sackett, born out of wedlock in 1836 to Margaret E. Snider (died 1844).
