Description
Excerpt from The Life of Oliver Ellsworth I do not think it worth while to list all the authorities which I have used in this work. The footnotes contain specific references for all important statements of fact. Whatever contributions the book may make to the knowledge of Ellsworth's life have been drawn chiefly from certain unpublished sources - letters of Ellsworth, and manuscripts relating to him, of which the most valuable are two by Oliver Ellsworth, Jr., his son, and two complete biographies, one by Hon. Joseph Wood, his son-in-law, and the other by Rev. Abner Jackson, sometime president of Hobart College, who was married to his granddaughter. Wood's work was used by Flanders and others who have published accounts of Ellsworth. So far as I know, Jackson's has not hitherto been used at all.
