Description
Contains accounts for making furniture and tools, repairing and painting furniture, and work at a saw mill. Nathaniel V continued in his father Nathaniel IV's footsteps in the woodworking and clockmaking business, and also served as an overseer of the poor. He built Hook Mill, a grain windmill, in 1806, and owned a sawmill with Jonathan Osborn and Elisha and Timothy Miller. Pages 3 to 65 are a daybook covering January 2, 1798-February 25, 1807; pages 66 to 182 are a ledger covering circa 1801-circa 1821; and the sawmill accounts are on pages 183-186.  Originally, the pages of the daybook and the sawmill accounts were not numbered, while the pages of the ledger were numbered 1-59.  See finding aid for transcribed name index of customers; page numbers in this index refer to numbers penciled in on the bottom of pages in the volume (3-186). The continuation of this account book, dated 1813-ca.1865, is on Microfilm 310; the original is held by the East Hampton Library, on Long Island, and is not owned by Winterthur.
