Abstract
Thomas Creigh, a Greenbrier County pioneer and land speculator, was a long-time Lewisburg merchant. Born 1766 in Ireland,
he emigrated to Greenbrier Co. in the 1790s and became a relative through marriage of Col. John Stuart, a local prominent
citizen. This ledger documents the trading activity of his general store and it is especially reflective of the bartering
system which characterized much of the nineteenth century rural economy. Included in the front of the volume is an index of
customers which lists many noted Lewisburg residents, such as John Stuart and Samuel Price.
