Ledger, 1783-1788.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122503494

The ledger documents the firm's mercantile business between 1783 and 1788. Lynch & Stoughton traded extensively with Spain, Portugal, Holland, the West Indies, Florida, Ireland, and China, in the coasting trade between Pennsylvania and New England, and with the interior of New York State. Exports included grain, flour, lumber, flax seed, tobacco, and ginseng, while imports included brandy, wine, linen, and sugar. There is one entry for the EMPRESS OF CHINA, the first American vessel to sail in the China trade. The ledger was used as evidence in the 1816 suit of Stoughton vs. Lynch and bears the signature of Peter Jay Munro (b. 1767), who was counsel for one of the parties.
