The collection consists of papers of Godfrey Barnsley and the Barnsley family from 1806-1903. The papers consist mainly of
correspondence, letter books, and financial records. The correspondence (bulk 1828-1873) and letter books (1837-1873, with

include Barnsley's business partners John Day, William D. Duncan, John R. Gardner, Edmund M. Sager, and James Sager and family
members including his wife Julia Scarborough Barnsley, his uncle George Barnsley of Liverpool, and his children. Many of the

in Savannah (Ga.), Mobile (Ala.), and New Orleans (La.) and discuss family and plantation matters. Some of the correspondence
relates to his position with the Port of Savannah as vice consul and interim of the Netherlands and vice consul for the Kingdom
of the Two Sicilies. The collection also contains transcripts of much of the correspondence.
