 File — Box: 9

Scope and Contents

Note on inside cover by Benjamin Ferris: "This work is the third volume- the two former I have seen, but believe they are in the possession of some of the descendants of the author's sister Mary. I think the present volume is not in the handwriting of Benjamin Ferris. It appears more like his father's writing -who probably copied it from the original after his son's decease. Benjamin Ferris was the son of David Ferris whose Journal is in print. He was born in 1740 and died in the spring of 1771. Some notice of his funeral may be found in John Churchman's Journal. Wilmington 12 month 1836. Benjamin Ferris." A journal of his travels in the ministry; he traveled with his father.
