Palmer, Isaac. Isaac Palmer account book, 1880-1903.

Title: Isaac Palmer account book, 1880-1903.

Isaac Palmer farm ledger contains work records of various people, along with sales of hay, lumber, straw, fence posts, eggs, butter, chickens, lard, etc., running from 1880-1885 and then 1900-1903. This ledger may have been kept in Amenia, Dutchess County, New York, as there are several mentions of it inside, while other town names are apparently lacking. However, most of the personal names in the ledger can be traced to Sharon, Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1880 U.S. Census, which is only about five miles away.

United States Sanitary Commission records. Army and Navy Claim Agency archives, 1861-1870

Title: United States Sanitary Commission records. Army and Navy Claim Agency archives 1861-1870

The United States Sanitary Commission established the Army and Navy Claim Agency (ANCA) in Washington, D.C. on April 1, 1864 to serve as the USSC’s central office to assist Union soldiers, sailors, and their families in prosecuting claims on the federal government for pensions, back pay, bounty, commutation of rations, prize money, and other benefits, without cost. The Army and Navy Claim Agency Archives comprise the records of the Army and Navy Claim Agency; the records of the Pension Agency, its predecessor organization; the registers and cash books of its subsidiary local agencies; and the records of two quasi-independent USSC claim agencies whose origins predate the establishment of the Army and Navy Claim Agency: the Protective War Claim Association of the State of New York, located in New York City, and the Protective War Claim and Pension Agency, located in Philadelphia.
