Small notebook with four pages
Scope and Content
This collection contains items by and about Ann Yerbury.

The poems and prose range in date from 1729 to 1753. The letter and newspaper article date from 1950 and 1956, respectively.
Original spelling, capitalization, and punctuation were retained in this finding aid. Some poems have additional titles docketed on the versos of the page; this is indicated as "title on verso" in the note field.

General note
A leather notebook with four pages (many preliminary pages were apparently torn out at an early date). Written by Ann Yerbury's mother, it details births, deaths, and marriages in the family. One item reads "My daughter Ann now married to Mr. William Yerbury on the 24th of June 1735 and went to London July the 21st 1935. Her son John was born on the 20th of August 1736. Her daughter Ann was born on Tuesday 6th of December 1737. Her daughter Mary was born the 1st of June 1738."
