This is a small collection of papers, 1831-1868, of an early resident of southeastern Wisconsin. LeGrand Rockwell, according to information in the Wisconsin Historical Collections, volumes 1 and 6, came to Oconomowoc in 1836 and settled in Elkhorn in 1837. At the latter place he became the first county register of deeds and clerk of the district court for Walworth County. Several other members of his family seem to have moved to Wisconsin to Oconomowoc, Milwaukee, and Platteville--but his father, A. S. Rockwell, remained at Otego, New York.
