Chauncey Pond Joslin
Born June 10, 1839
Died January 12, 1863
The Diary and letters in this website are a reflection of the care my
mother, Bonita Joslin, and my sister, Jan, took in conserving the
old papers in our attic. In 1973 they deciphered the original diary,
typed it on an old Remington typewriter, and had it copyrighted and
published. Recently my son, Andy, has helped decipher more letters.
We ask that you respect this and if you want to use any of this in ways
other than research you contact us for permission.

◊Please note that in my research I found that my ancestors spelled Joslin
two ways, Joslin and Joslyn. There are double entries in many on line
sites and in the book found in the Cornell University Library's Making of America Digital Collection
