Papers, 1763-1823.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259730

This collection contains a folder of legal documents, for the period 1763 to 1823, and eight account books, for the period 1787 to 1802. The documents consist primarily of deeds to land in Lunenburg, power of attorney, receipts (including one for Robbins' soldier's pay, 1779), leases, promissory notes, and a petition for granting an inn holder's license to Eli Robbins. One account book and six daybooks relate to the Lexington general store, including purchases of meat, produce, clothing, liquor, and house wares by such townspeople as Jacob Buckman (1759-1839) and Nehemiah Estabrook (1762-1820). Several daybooks include "notes and sundries" (personal accounts) and extensive calculations. A "Fur Book," for the period 1801 to 1802, mainly contains lists of purchasers only, with a few references to types of fur articles sold and supplies purchased.
