Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Ives Family Papers includes material related to Rev. Levi Sillman Ives; Joseph Moss Ives and his son Walter Bigelow Ives; and Cora Semmes Ives, her husband Joseph Ives, and their children Edward, Eugene, and Frank. Levi Silliman Ives and Joseph Moss Ives were both descendants of William Ives who arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, from London in 1635, and was one of the original settlers of Quinnipiac (New Haven), Connecticut, in 1638. The connection, however, between them and the others Ives' within this collection is unclear.
