A small collection of items related to the Williams and Tillinghast families, including a copy of Boyce Williams’s CV from the late 1960s, a poem written by Williams’s son John, and an 1899 wedding announcement for Edward Tillinghast and Hilda Watson. Also included is a partial genealogical chart for the Tillinghast family, but it is a very faint copy and difficult to read. See also series 8 for more on the Tillinghast/Watson families.

The material was collected and produced by Edna Adler during her work on her biography of Boyce Williams. This includes two separate draft manuscripts of the book. This series also includes a variety of clippings on Williams (see series 7 for more), correspondence with other people on Williams’s life and career, and several notebooks that Adler filled with notes and outlines while working on this project.
