Description
John Rutherford wrote to his cousin, Susan Kean, no address but likely in Philadelphia, PA. John Rutherford approved Susan's husband, John Kean, to use his name if he thought it would be helpful. He also suggested John Kean use other names since John Rutherford was not well known in that area.

Collection
The Liberty Hall Collection consists of the correspondence, financial records, legal documents, and other manuscript material of the Livingston and Kean families, dated from 1686-1847. The bulk of the collection is related to Susan Livingston Kean Niemcewicz (1759-1833). The Livingston and Kean families frequently corresponded and held accounts with other prominent colonial and early American families in New Jersey, especially Elizabethtown, Philadelphia, New York City, upstate New York, England, France, and Poland. A small portion of the collection includes correspondence with early Virginia families, unrelated to the Livingston and Kean families.
