Scope and Content

A miscellaneous collection of accounts, originating, so far as is known, in Charlottesville and Albemarle County, except one from Rockingham County. Most were kept by unidentified merchants dealing in general merchandise. In several ledgers, two or more sets of accounts occur, as for instance in a ledger first kept apparently by a tavern keeper, with accounts for meals, lodging , and fodder (1817-1846), then by a grocer in Rockingham County (1864), and finally by a grain merchant (1869-1870). There are various accounts of Charlottesville or Albemarle merchants, of Spooner and Keller (1873-1867), J.W.B. McAllister (1875- 1879), tailor (1835), a painter and glazier (1859-1862), a miller (1860-1867), and stationers (1869-1873). There are also some official records of the jailer of Albemarle County (1874-1876), of T.L. Michie as an assignee in bankruptcy (1871-1879), a list of Charlottesville voters (1871), and reports of the Charlottesville police (1893-1895). Records of Wayland and Thompson of Free Union and of Seamands and Marchall are found both in this collection and in 38-4.
