Description

This book explores forty-nine individuals within a six-generation Williamson carpentry dynasty, who practiced their trade for over 200 years, from the mid-1700s to the mid-20th century. Most stayed within Suffolk, Long Island; some strayed to other New York and New Jersey locations but maintained close connections by letter. Some built strong roots in one community; some took in family members as apprentices; others struggled to make a living. Their stories blossomed from public documents such as censuses, trade schedules, Revolutionary War pension affidavits, probate inventories, and vital records. Significant personal papers, particularly personal letters and business accounts, survived to find homes in professional archives. Other colorful details appeared in secondary sources like newspapers and local histories. The authors analyze the statistics of these carpentry businesses, blend this data with the carpenters' intimate stories, and weave it all into the context of economic transition during the American Industrial Revolution. The result will appeal to historian, museum curator, and lay reader alike, offering a rich sense of individual personalities and challenges as well as family and community strengths.
