Scope and content
The majority of the collection consists of items relating to Edward James Jarvis (1788-1833). After studying law in London, England, from 1813-1816, Jarvis became a lawyer, notary, office holder, judge, and politician in Prince Edward Island. The collection contains Jarvis' journal, documenting a trip to Paris in 1814, and the wig he wore while acting as Chief justice of P.E.I. Also included are two items of correspondence written while in Malta, to relatives in New Brunswick. The first letter was written by Edward and his first wife, Anna Maria (Boyd), to Munson Jarvis, Edward's father, in Saint John and the second by Ann Maria to her sister Mrs. Robert Hagen in Saint John.
The collection also contains the marriage license of James Bardin Palmer (1771-1833) and Millicent Jones, who were married by T. Desbrisay on the 22 December 1803. Palmer was a land agent, lawyer, office holder, and politician in PEI. He was the son of Joseph Palmer and Susanna Bardin of Dublin, Ireland.
