http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122611567

The papers of George Tibbits consist of correspondence, bills, receipts, ledgers, journals, landtitles, platbooks, memoranda, petitions, articles and speeches relating to various phases of his career in business and politics. From 1784-1804, these papers concern his dealings with wholesalers and shippers as well as the retail operations of the store. Hardware and dry goods were probably the chief line of merchandise he sold as indicated in an assortment of journals and ledgers that remain. There is also some evidence that he operated a grain storage warehouse from which it was sold or barteed wholesale. Another major endeavor of George Tibbits documented in these papers was the acquisition, subdivision, and release of land in Troy, Schaghticke, Hoosick, McCormick's Patent, and Scribas Patent.
