Abstract: Papers, 1795-1968, of several Madison, Wisconsin families related by marriage: the
Hobbins, Jackson, Morris, and Stevens families. The Hobbins and Jacksons were prominent
physicians; William A. Pringle Morris and Breese J. Stevens were prominent attorneys. The
title of the collection is based on the marriage of Helen Elizabeth Stevens, a daughter of
Breese Stevens, to Dr. Reginald H. Jackson Sr. and the marriage of Julia Morris, a daughter
of W.A.P. Morris to Joseph W. Jackson Sr., the brother of Reginald Sr. The papers include
extensive correspondence between family and friends, business records and personal financial
papers, subject files, and photographs. The Farmer, Grannis, and Wright families are also
well documented. The papers cover a wide range of subjects, not only documenting family life
in Madison, but also in western New York and Williston, North Dakota. Other topics range
from aviation history to military service to financial investing, musky fishing, the
practice of medicine, and Madison's Frank Lloyd Wright-designed auditorium.
