Scope and Contents note

This collection contains excerpts from Addie E. Milks' diary detailing the history and genealogy of the Sloan and McCormick families, as well as early pioneer life in Michigan territory.

A majority of the excerpts pertain to Addie's mother, Ann McCormick Malone, and her dramatic experiences during the Revolutionary War as well as her family's subsequent move to Taymouth Township, near the Flint River, Michigan.

Also included in the excerpts are comments about relations with Native Americans in the area, bouts with childhood diseases like dysentery, and the role of religion in pioneer life.

The excerpts also contain Addie's reminiscences about Ann's gardening skills, a peaceful home, and the social activities of the family.

The transcriber of the diary excerpts include additions and corrections that are not part of Addie E. Milks' diary.
