Records, 1780-1832.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122392654

The records document the formation, operation and dissolution of the firm of Andrews & Meredith. They include French official papers, cargo invoices, and correspondence. David Meredith's deposition in an Admiralty case (Philadelphia, 1798) describes his first venture for the firm in 1794-95, with details of cargoes and problems caused by unsettled business conditions. The miscellany includes receipts issued to Jonathan Meredith, a Philadelphia tanner and father of David Meredith, for purchases of bark for tanning (1804), and a family record tracing the migration of the Andrews family from Salem, Mass., to Rochester, N.Y., and Michigan Territory between 1825 and 1832.
