Seeking US District Court bankruptcy records of Isaac Mitten

Dorothea Brennan Sep 21, 2019 4:44 PM

I want to find the U.S. District Court Records for the bankruptcy of Isaac Mitten. It was filed 2 February 1843 in Philadelphia. I am specifically looking for his listing of assets, liabilities and then the disposition of those assets and related debt payment.

Dear Ms. Brennan,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 16 record series that include records created by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania during the 1840s, of which 9 related to bankruptcy cases. These records are in the custody of the National Archives at Philadelphia (RE-PA). To request a search for files relating to specific cases, please contact RE-PA via email at philadelphia.archives@nara.gov

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
