Abstract: The Hibbard Collection was amassed by a 19
th century collector of autographs and other
historical documents. It contains an assortment of account book pages, autographs, deeds,
letters, military commissions and orders, prints, receipts, town charters and other items
related mostly to New Hampshire. It also includes materials from people of national
importance, most notably letters written by Abigail Adams, John Hancock and Thomas
Jefferson. There are account book pages with expenditures by the Province of New
Hampshire in the late 1600s, depositions about James Johnson and his family’s captivity
by the Indians in 1754, trials of suspected loyalists in 1776, and activities of John W.
Weeks and Moody Bedel during the War of 1812.
Access and Use
Acquisition Information and Provenance:
The Hibbard Collection contains materials collected by Sarah King Hale Hibbard. She
was the daughter of Salma Hale, an early member and president of the New Hampshire
Historical Society. It was given to the Society in 1881 by her brother, George S. Hale,
and apparently was originally catalogued as a book in the library. It was moved to the
manuscript collection in 1957 or 1958.
Processing Information:
This collection arrived in four volumes. The papers were removed from the volumes and
filed in boxes based on the volume in which they were located (one box per volume). The
folders reflect the pages of the volumes and are in the order of the original pages. The
collection was processed by an unknown person at an unknown date. The finding aid was
written by Sandra L. Wheeler in June 2014. This finding aid follows the standards set
forth by Describing Archives: A Content Standard.
Access Restrictions:
Available for research.
Location:
The collection is housed at the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord, New
Hampshire.

Collection Overview
Biographical Information:
Sarah King Hale Hibbard (1822-1879) was the daughter of Salma Hale of Keene, NH,
who was an attorney, prominent New Hampshire politician (United States Congress
1817-1819; New Hampshire Senate 1824-1825 and 1845-1846; New Hampshire House
of Representatives 1823, 1828, 1844), and one of the earliest members of the New
Hampshire Historical Society, of which he was President from 1830 to 1832.
She married Stephen R. Bellows of Walpole, NH in 1843, but he died less than a year
later. In 1848, she married Harry Hibbard (1816-1872) of Bath, NH. He was an attorney
and politician who served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives (1843-1845),
the New Hampshire Senate (1845, 1847, 1848), and in the United States House of
Representatives (1849-1855). Mrs. Hibbard accompanied him to Washington, DC, but
otherwise the couple lived in Bath. Their only child, Alice, died young.
Mrs. Hibbard was deeply interested in history, especially that of of New Hampshire.
After the death of her husband, she spent much of her leisure time gathering books and
manuscripts illustrative of that history. She died at Bath on October 5, 1879.
Arrangement:
Materials are arranged as they came to the New Hampshire Historical Society except that
they have been removed from bound volumes and placed in folders. Each box
corresponds to the volume of the same number. For Volumes 1-3 (Boxes 1-3), each
folder contains a five page increment but the order within each 5 page sequence has been
lost. Therefore, in Boxes 1-3, items in each folder are in alphabetical order by author.
When Volume 4 was disassembled, whoever did it labeled each item with information
about which specific page it was on. In Box 4, therefore, materials are in the order in
which they were found in the bound volumes.
The collection contained glued items into the volumes in the following rough order:
--The first two and a half volumes are papers and autographs of individuals at first in
somewhat random order (Box 1), then alphabetically (Box 2 and the first half of Box 3).
--The second half of the third volume (Box 3) contains documents from towns and the
New Hampshire Legislature.
--The fourth volume (Box 4) contains materials relating to the Revolutionary War and
the War of 1812.
Sometime before 1995, 24 Timothy Bedel items were noted to have been removed from
the volumes and placed with the Timothy Bedel Papers. These have been returned to the
Hibbard collection and placed together in Box 4, folder 23 because there was no
indication of exactly where they had been in the original volumes.
Boxes two, three and four have indices written by an unknown person, probably in the
19th
century. While helpful, the accuracy of the entries is uncertain.
There is a 3x5 card file index to this collection found in the Society’s library, created by
an unknown person. It occasionally offers additional information about the contents of
letters or people mentioned in a letter.
Due to the nature of the collection and the availability of the card file index, the
collection has been processed at the item level.
Scope and Content:
The Hibbard Collection consists of unrelated items accumulated by a 19th
century
collector Sarah King Hale Hibbard. The collection includes account book pages,
autographs, bills, correspondence, invitations, legal documents, military orders and
commissions, receipts, petitions, prints, town documents (charters, accounts, and lists of
grantees). Although Mrs. Hibbard’s focus was on New Hampshire people and events, she
also collected items written by people of national importance. Most notable among these
are:
Abigail Adams to Mrs. Cranch, Box 1, folder 36
John Hancock to his wife, Box 2, folder 27
Thomas Jefferson to Salma Hale, Box 1, folder 20
In addition to acquiring this sort of material written by famous people, Mrs. Hibbard
seems to have been interested in and collected materials about:
1. Town charters and accounts, [Box 3]
2. The captivity of James Johnson and his family by Native Americans in 1754. [Box 3,
folder 33]
3. Military documents, especially pertaining to:
-- The Revolutionary War. There are legal documents about accusations against several
people of being loyalists, with depositions both supporting the charges and defending the
accused. [Box 4, folders 13-16]
-- The War of 1812. Mrs. Hibbard was particularly interested in John W. Weeks and
Moody Bedel, both of whom led New Hampshire regiments in that war. There are orders,
supply requisitions, recruitment reports and accounts. The Weeks correspondence
continues into the 1830s, when he received letters from soldiers concerning Plains Indian
affairs. [Box 4, folders 4-10].
There is no information about the sources of the items that Mrs. Hibbard collected or
what, if any, her criteria were for acquiring materials.
Some prints from the collection have been removed from the Collection and placed in the
museum. These prints can be identified through their accession number 1957.011 (v)
given in the description of the print.
Contents List
Autographs are often written on small pieces of paper and are called autographs in the
finding aid. Sometimes there is also a print of the person; these often also have a
signature, but there has been no attempt to discover if those are autographs or facsimiles.
They are therefore called signatures in the finding aid.
Dates: years have been completed, when known – "43," for example, has been completed
to 1843. Incomplete dates giving only month or only month and day are as in the letter.
Name of addressee: These are the writer indicated either on the envelope or in the
salutation. Thus, Harry Hibbard is sometimes addressed by his full name, other times by
H. Hibbard. Letters for which no name is found have the addressee as in the salutation
(“My Dear Friend” for example).
Name of author of letter: Authors’ names have been supplied whenever possible.
Occasionally, names have been assigned based on what is written on the back as a
notation by the recipient. When a name is illegible it is so noted; when only partial names
are legible they are indicated as “Com__, C___”.
