Family Tree

This archive centers on four women in the Hart Nichols Family: Abigail (Lefferts) Smyth, her daughter Elizabeth (Smyth) Nichols, granddaughter Louisa Adelia Nichols, and great-granddaughter Mary Ameila Hart. Each page focuses on one of these women and shows their connections to each other and their communities, and the ways in which social expectations and views of womanhood shaped their lives.
