The collection consists of two daybooks dating from 1830-1850 used by Enoch Middleton in his masonry and farming businesses. The first volume is a daybook detailing masonry work done from 1830-1834, and records the amount of materials such as bricks and sand used, the name of the patron, and the price of the job. The second volume dates from 1839-1850, and primarily documents the pasturing of Middleton's livestock and his family expenses. Typical purchases include bushels of wheat and rye, firewood, cattle, and sheep. Also contained in this volume is a floor plan of the house of Nathan M. Hendrickson (1810-1845) of Imlaystown, New Jersey, and a portion of a handwritten page of poetry.
