Series 3 - John Henry letters

26pp

Dr. Brian Trainor, Deputy Keeper of the Records, PRONI, provided copies of the John Henry letters to Kerby A. Miller on 24 January 1974. Miller then created his transcripts from these copies. The original manuscripts are held in PRONI [reference number T1480].

Transcripts and reproductions of five letters sent by emigrant John Henry to his sister and mother in Ballymoney, County Antrim. The first letter is sent in 1867 from Illinois; the latter four are sent between 1869 and 1889 from Clay Center, Kansas where he and his family ultimately settled.
