Abstract

Daybook entries (1804-1830) record visits to patients, with notations of treatments and medicines prescribed. Common services performed by Dr. Hayes were vaccinations, dressing wounds, dentistry, and child-birthing. The daybooks also contain lists of pharmaceutical supplies sold to local doctors, and references to the cowpox inoculations of children, vaccinations of a "negro child of Silas Condit" and the apprentices of David Parkhurst and William Sayres (1805), and "attendance to a wife/abortry" (1819). Hayes' patients included members of the following Newark families: Alling, Baldwin, Beach, Canfield, Condit, Congar, Crane, Halsted, Meeker, Nichols, Pennington, Randolph, Rankin, Shipman, Tichenor, Vanderpool, Van Houten, and Ward. The Township Committee also referred people in need to Dr. Hayes for medical attention.
