New York (State). Commissioners to purchase provisions and other necessaries for the expedition against Canada. Accounts, 1711-1712.

Title: Accounts, 1711-1712.

Accounts, 1711-1712, kept for Peter Van Brugh and Hendrick Hansen in their capacity as commissioners, perhaps by Killian Van Rensselaer. The accounts list supplies given to troops and to Indians, giving details of the names of individual units, captains and tribes. They include some entries dealing with the disposition of surplus goods after it was decided in late 1711 not to proceed with the expedition. Supplies include weapons, clothing, foodstuffs, tobacco and rum; there is also a record of payment to an Indian boy who presented a "tyger" to the Governor. A few loose sheets of accounts from the early eighteenth century are laid into the book. The latter part of the volume contains accounts dated 1773-1775, evidently a school exercise, probably by James Bleecker, whose name appears at the front of the book with the date 1773.
