This collection consists of four account books dated from 1837 July 25 - 1867 May 24. One account book lists a categorized inventory of items sold and the total monetary amount per category. The three other account books list the name of the purchaser as well as the items sold immediately beneath each name. Adjacent to each listed item is the amount the item sold for and then below, before the next account, is the purchase total. The items which were sold ranged from chickens and silk hats to other common household goods. The phrase “Dandridge Tennessee” appears at the top of three of the account books which seems to indicate that the account books originated from Dandridge, Tennessee. Based upon the handwriting, it appears that at least two of the account books may have been authored by the same individual.
