General merchant, King's County, ledger : [1810-1843]

  • CA PCA Acc4218
  • Fonds
  • Microfilmed 1991

The fonds consists of the ledger (1810-1843) of an unidentified general merchant (possibly James MacDonald of St. Peter's Lake) who was supplying goods to people in communities from Pt. Deroche to East Point including Savage Harbour, Goose River, St. Peter's Bay, Naufrage, Allasary, Rock Barra, Morell River, Scotchfort, and Cable Head. It gives names and addresses, and sometimes occupations, of individuals having accounts with the merchant. There is a partial index in the beginning which lists the accounts by community. It appears to be one of a series of ledgers as most of the accounts have been carried forward from an earlier book.
