Scope & Content |
Pray & Neal Ledger, Feb 1831-1834 [bulk dates Feb 1831-Feb 1832] Ledger used by Pray and Neal, a ship chandlery, hardware and grocery store. The bulk of the dates are from February 1831 to February 1832, although some accounts appear to have been settled as late as 1834. The partnership of Pray and Neal dissolved in January of 1832 and the business was taken over by William's brother James, while William opened up a new store at 8 & 9 Merchants Row. There is therefore a possibility that this ledger overlaps with one of those businesses as well. On page 150 the volume is connected to William Neal, based on records for his "private account." The same entry, "private account" is recorded for Samuel Pray on page 157. Entries include ship names, individuals and businesses. On page 35 there is an entry for "Potato Account No. 2 Cellar" and on page 43 there is an entry for "Potato Account M. H. Cellar." On page 54, Joshua Perkins is identified as the "potatoe man." On page 92 there is an entry for the "Light House Contractors." Page 101 is for the "Cider Account," 134 is the "Overseers of the Poor," 174 is the "Ship Yard" and 255 records the "Sale of Ship America." There are 332 pages of entries. The final page is an entry reconciling the estate of James Neal, suggesting that the volume includes entries from when the store of Pray and Neal as well as when James Neal took over the location.
