Oliver Wolcott & Co. account books, 1803-1814.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/668411865

The first of the two volumes, 1803-1808, is a record of expenses of the merchant company, and individual accounts primarily of cash advances or orders of credit, many paid off by their wages. The second volume, 1803-1814, consists of receipts for such things as goods shipped on particular vessels, wharfage, money advanced, orders honored, and payment for work done. Of particular interest in the first volume is a list of representatives of states in Congress January 1802, including those states that earned more representation because of slaves. Also an account of articles deposited at the house of Frederick Wolcott for safe keeping in 1805, a list of sundries at Litchfield belonging to Oliver Wolcott, and an account of furniture and clothing "in the house when Cloe Thomas left it Sept. 1807".

2 volumes.
