| 524 | |a Ames Family Historical Collection, 1762-2006. MC 773. Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University | ||
| 545 | |a The Ames Family Historical Collection represents many generations of a family based in Milton, Northampton, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the 18th and first half of the 19th century; in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the mid- to late-19th century; and in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the late-19th and the 20th century. Some of the central figures include Anne Jean Robbins Lyman (1789-1867), who lived in Northampton and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was a Unitarian and abolitionist, hosting luminaries such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Lydia Maria Child; and her daughter Susan Inches Lyman Lesley (1823-1904) who, along with her husband, geologist J. Peter Lesley (1819-1903), sheltered a fugitive slave named Mary Walker. Charles Gordon Ames (1828-1912), editor, lecturer, and Unitarian minister, was secretary of the founding meeting of the Minnesota branch of the Republican Party before moving to Boston where he served as minister at the Church of the Disciples; his son Charles Wilberforce Ames married the Lesleys' daughter Mary, and they moved the family to St. Paul, Minnesota, where they and their six children were influential in founding civic organizations, schools, libraries, and museums | ||
