Collection History

Custodial History

The papers were given to Princeton ca. 1973 by Donald Shea, Roswell Lamson's great grandson. According to Prof. James M. McPherson, the Lamson papers passed through the family to Donald Shea's maternal aunt, Helen Renaud Hutchinson. She was the daugher of Helen Lamson Renaud, Roswell Lamson's fourth child (born March 24, 1880), and the only one who had children, one of whom was Jeanne Renaud Shea, Donald Shea's mother. Helen Renaud Hutchinson gave the papers to Donald Shea who later donated them to Princeton University Library. Neither Donald Shea nor anyone else in his family, going back to Roswell Lamson himself, had any connection with Princeton.
