Record books, 1752-1837 1800-1830.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/52625860

This collection is made up of the business record of Joseph Camp (1710-1780), Caleb Camp (1732-1817), Joseph Wheeler Camp (1784-1838), and Stephen B. Camp. The volumes run from 1752-1837 with bulk dates of 1800-1830 and trace the Camp family's various businesses: the general store, to the sawmill, cider mill, and distillery. Although the books have been arranged by singular owners, each son worked for his father with the result that the ledgers may have been used by more than one person. The majority of the volumes are account books and daybooks that either trace all business transactions, including those of the store, the mills, and the distillery; or the sale of one product, either cider, spirits, or apples. The collection also contains record books from Caleb Camp and Matthias Bruen's distilling business and from Stephen B. Camp's general store, Baldwin & Camp, in New York City. There is also an account book tracing the money and services donated for the building of Camptown's Schoolhouse in 1806-1810, a receipt book that Joseph W. Camp used as the executor of Caleb Camp's estate in 1817-1818, and a record book for vendue sales given by Joseph W. Camp in 1833-1834.
