Philip Tabb horse book and James Maury Fontaine account book, 1772-1857.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/712599313

The first part of the manuscript contains records concerning the breeding and sale of Philip Tabb's horses. The entries give the names of the horses with their sires, dams, years of birth and sales price. The first three pages cover the dates 1774-1813. A fourth page of entries is in a different hand with dates from 1847-1857. The fifth page with manuscript entries bears the inscription "James Fontaine his book." Fountaine's book shows accounts (1775-1783) with Williamsburg residents including the merchant William Holt, the apothecaries Pasteur and Galt, the printer Alexander Purdie, and Colonel William Aylett who operated the Public Store. Also mentioned are Edward Layton, William Dickerson, the firm of Messrs. Bracken and Lilly, Ben Creadle and the estate of Fountaine's father-in-law, Carter Burwell. The entry for Ben Creadle (p. 6) notes that it is an old entry carried forward from the almanac for 1771.
