Records, 1859-1921.

Daybooks, ledgers, cash books, bill registers, letterpress books, and other account books documenting the business activities of a pioneer merchant family. There are no records from Stephen Phelps and Son, the original business. The collection offers little narrative description of Phelps and Proctor business interests, but the records are uniform and, except for a number of missing volumes, provide excellent documentation of the business activities of a pioneer Fulton County merchant family.
