Dates

  • From the Collection: Creation: 1750-1850

Scope and Content

The records in this series comprise those that did not originate from the firms of Andrew Clow & Co., Dutilh & Wachsmuth, Manuel Eyre, George Louis de Stockar, or their immediate business associates. Included are miscellaneous accounts from larger Philadelphia area merchants, such as Richard Ashhurst, William Crammond, D’Arcy & Didier, and Nottnagel, Montmollin & Co., as well as smaller merchants. The records are incomplete and extremely fragmentary and thus only contain a few bills, receipts, letters, or accounts. Additionally, there are accounts and other financial records from unidentified merchants, likely from the Philadelphia area or southeastern Pennsylvania. These include invoice books containing shipments of cotton, coffee, sugar, indigo, and other similar goods. There is also a record book for Francis Curtis, a lawyer near Queenstown, Maryland during the early nineteenth century.
