This isn't by a Puritan writer, but it gives good insight into the workings of a prominent late-Puritan family: Dodd's Marriage to a Difficult Man about Sarah and Jonathan Edwards was certainly humbling to me. Be aware that Dodd was not always familiar with a reformed perspective, so she goes "off" in a few places.
