Guide to the Collection
Abstract
This collection consists of the papers of the Boston merchant and shipping firm Bryant & Sturgis, primarily business correspondence with other merchants and shipmasters around the world. Also included in the collection are the papers of Marblehead (Mass.) merchants Robert and John Hooper, and those of U.S. Congressman and merchant William Reed, also of Marblehead.
Biographical Sketches
John Bryant was a partner in the firm of Boston merchant and shipping firm Bryant and Sturgis (Boston, Mass.) with William Sturgis for 53 years. Bryant and Sturgis traded lumber, tea, opium, sugar, and many other goods.
Robert and John Hooper were merchants of Marblehead, Mass.
William Reed (1776-1837) was born in Marblehead, Mass. He became a merchant, was elected as a Federalist to the 12th and 13th Congresses (1811-1815), and served as a member of the board of the Andover Theological Seminary and a trustee of Dartmouth College.
William Sturgis (1782-1863) was born in Barnstable, Mass., the son of William Sturgis and Hannah Mills. He sailed at an early age to the northwest coast of North America on fur-gathering expeditions and to China to trade in tea and other wares. He became a shipmaster and later a merchant. He was a partner in the Boston firm of Bryant and Sturgis with John Bryant for 53 years, a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, a state senator, and the president of the Boston Marine Society.

Collection Description
This bulk of the Hooper-Sturgis papers consists of the business correspondence of Bryant and Sturgis with other merchants and shipmasters around the world. For an alphabetical list of Bryant and Sturgis correspondents, see Correspondents of Bryant and Sturgis below. The collection includes ships' accounts, receipt books, and a volume of accounts kept by William Sturgis for minor Wendell T. Davis. Other Sturgis papers relate to the construction of J.P. Cushing's house in Boston, designed by Asher Benjamin. The collection also contains the papers of Robert Hooper and Sons, Robert and John Hooper, and William Reed, all of Marblehead, Mass.
Acquisition Information
Gift of Ellen Sturgis Hooper, May 1907.
Custodial History
The collection most likely came together as a result of a marriage between William Sturgis's daughter Ellen Sturgis (1812-1848) and Robert W. Hooper (1810-1885). Their son Edward William Hooper (1839-1901) married in 1864 Fanny Hudson Chapin (d. 1881) and had Ellen Sturgis Hooper (b. 1872), who married John Briggs Potter in 1908.

Correspondents in 1813 include: Edward Carrington of Providence, R.I.; John Bromfield (a shipmaster); Bailey and Willis of New York City; Edward Boden (a shipmaster); Bulkley, Somarindyck and Co. (N.Y.C.); Charles J. Catlett (Alexandria, Va.); Samuel Williams (London); and Henry Oxnard (a shipmaster of Portland, Me.). Beginning in 1814, merchant correspondents include Samuel Grant of Philadelphia, Josiah Sturgis of New York, Sturgis and Lovell of Charleston, Perkins and Co. of Canton, Seth Russell and Sons of New Bedford, James P. Sturgis of Canton, James and T.H. Perkins of Boston, and many others; beginning in 1815, Ebenezer Rollins of Havana, Joshua Hilton of Wiscasset, Me., Levett Harris of St. Petersburg, Goodhue and Ward of New York, Benjamin and Thomas C.

Additional Bryant and Sturgis papers, primarily business-related items, are dated 1857-1858.
Included in this series are commercial papers for Robert and John Hooper, 1821-1829. Documents between 1829 and 1832 concern the design and construction of a house for John P. Cushing on Bowdoin Street in Boston, Mass., overseen by William Sturgis. Many of the receipts and accounts were signed by Asher Benjamin, who apparently designed and managed the construction project. This series also contains papers of John Hooper, 1838-1849, whose principal correspondents were Aikins Adams of Fairhaven, Mass., and W.C. Hichborn of Charleston; some letters belonging to Benjamin T. Reed; and the papers of William Reed, primarily dated after 1831, but with some scattered items from 1805 and 1816. Reed's papers include some personal items, but most are related to the shipping business.
