Biographical/Historical Information

The ledger seems to have been kept by Henry Wills (1757-1833) and his son Robert C. Wills (b. 1792).

The ledger entries (1783-1795) record sale of liquor, cloth and hardware items, charges for wintering cattle and the use of a plow team, as well as an estate sale. Entries relating to the Wills family include a will and vital statistics. See acc. 24523b for the Wills family Bible record.
