Stephen Denton account book, 1828-1834.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53824713

Stephen Denton's accounts are in the rear of an incomplete printed book entitled Charleston South Carolina City Ordinance, 1784, Major Wm. W. Morris. The first portion of the volume contains ordinance numbers 38-74 passed from 1786-1789. The remainder of the volume consists of blank pages used by Denton to keep his accounts from 1828-1834. In each customer's account, Denton documented the type of work performed, the date, and wages or goods received. Customers included Daniel Dickerson (1777-1845), William Scott (1785-1838), Moses Brookfield, and members of the Hinchman family; and typical jobs were cutting wood, planting, harvesting, blacksmithing, and building fences. Denton was often paid with such goods as shoes, pork, fish, and molasses.
