Appendix 1 The Accounts of Job Townsend, Jr. The following is a transcription of the accounts kept by Job Townsend, Jr. These listings comprise his ledger kept from 1750 to 1760 and his daybook kept from 1762 to 1778. The ledger is organized by client, with the client’s purchases or debits for the whole decade in the left column and his form of payment or credits in the right. In contrast, the daybook runs chronologically, with the debits and credits of all clients written in the order in which they transpired. These two methods of accounting were not kept concurrently by Job Townsend, Jr., and for unknown reasons, he switched methods between 1760 and 1762. To illustrate the literacy of its author (as well as to clearly show the current interpretation of individual lettering), misspellings have not been corrected, and all commentary is contained within square brackets.
