Hoffman, Lindley Murray, New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey, 1882 October 12

He is revising his family tree. Among his ancestors was Mary Frances Seton, his grandmother, daughter of William Seton, the first cashier of the bank of New York. She married Martin Hoffman who died in 1828. Hoffman would be obliged if Seton would advise him of the connection of his grandmother with Mother Seton. On the back of this letter in Seton's handwriting is the answer: Mary Frances Seton was the daughter of William Seton and his second wife, Anna-Maria Curzon . She was consequently half-sister to Seton's grandfather William Seton who was husband of Mother Seton, nee Bayley. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
