Subject: Ledger entries - HOLTZMAN, LENKER, RIEGEL
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:45:14 EDT
My mother purchased an old ledger at an auction years ago. It belonged to
John Weaver, and the entries begin Nov. 14, 1833. Many upper Dauphin County
families' accounts are included. John was apparently a shoemaker early in life,
and ran some sort of store later on. I will post the names of the account
holders and the names of others mentioned in the accounts...most of those
mentioned are children, but some are other adults that may have been hired help, or
relatives, etc. They are usually noted with a first and last name whereas the
children are noted only by first name. Persons are in the order seen in the
ledger, and I use the spelling of the ledger as well.
