This series consists of items created by or belonging to different Hume family members and preserved collectively by the family. The will and estate papers of the Port Hope grain and seed merchant John Hume (1847-1921) form the largest part of this series, showing the disposition of his $500,000 estate in the 1920s and 1930s. Land records show the family's ownership of lots 33 and 34 in concession 4 of Hamilton township from the 1840s through to the 1930s and the plan of the family home "Pinehurst" in Port Hope. There is also a few letters and postcards to John Hume and ephemera relating to Port Hope.

The earliest item in the series is the commonplace book of Ellen Patterson of Howick, England, believed to be the mother of Robert Hume (1818-1878). She died young, ca. 1818-1823, and the book holds poignant entries made after her death by her husband John Hume about her personality and character. Another early item is a proclamation proroguing the provincial parliament of Upper Canada on 6 August 1818 with the official seal of the Lieutenant-Governor. Its provenance in relation to the Hume family is uncertain. There is also early correspondence from Robert Hume (grandfather of the emigrant) to his son John Hume in Hamburg, Germany in 1826. Other items include a list of patients at Huntingdon Infirmary in Tynemouth Union and material related to Sarah Maria Hume, Henry Hume, Alice E. Hume, Margaret Hume, and Mary Galt.

Hume, John, 1847-1921 : John Hume was born in 1847, the son of Robert Hume and Charlotte Jopling of Hamilton township, Northumberland County, Ontario. He followed in his father's footsteps as a grain and seed merchant based in Port Hope under the name "John Hume and Son", becoming very wealthy in this trade. Hume had married Sarah Palmer Angus on 30 August 1876 in the Baptist Jubilee Chapel in Broomhaugh. They had seven children: Edith Mary (b. 21 April 1878), Robert (b. 27 Nov 1879), Gertrude Angus (b. 14 Oct 1881), Angus (b. 8 May 1883, d. 14 May 1883), John Angus (b. 1884), and twins Margaret A. and William (b. 16 Apr 1885). The family estate on Pine Street in Port Hope was named "Pinehurst". John Hume died 1 April 1921, bequeathing some $500,000 to his widow and four surviving children. Sarah Palmer (Angus) Hume died on 5 June 1933 in Port Hope.

Hume, John, 1794-1862 : John Hume was born 14 September 1794, the son of Robert Hume and Isabella Watson of North Shields, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, Northumberland County, England. John Hume was a middling merchant or shopkeeper in North Shields for much of his life. Though he also for a time resided in Hamburg, Germany in 1820s, engaged in milling grain at other times, and was the postmaster for North Shields in the 1850s. He married first, Ellen Patterson of Howick, about 1816. She was born in 1794, the daughter of Stephen and Ann Patterson, and died sometime before 1823 after having one son, Robert, born in 1818.
