ROBERT E. NEWMAN FILES, DARTMOUTH U.K.
REEL A-45 AND A-46 OTTAWA
ARCHIVES
ST LAWRENCE CLOTHING SALES BOOKS 1788-1789 & CASH BOOK
1800-1801
Note: I have gone through
both those reels, primarily looking for a few selected family names.
However, in the photocopies
and notes I made, other names show up that may be of interest to those who may
be searching family roots.
A lot of the entries show the
same person purchasing items at different times during the period covered.
It is too great a task for one
person to copy every entry and try and decipher the handwriting. This would be
an excellent historical project for some group to take on before the writings
are lost or become unreadable. It is also easier to decipher the handwriting
directly from the microfilm reader rather than take it from the photocopy.
The following persons
purchased items from Newman’s store at Lt.
St. Lawrence. The items are listed but I only noted a few. Most
items are the same and related to clothing and fishing needs.
