Journal of Harrison & Hooe, 1778-1787 (5 January 1785 - 31 December 1785)

ReadAboutContentsHelp

Robert Townsend Hooe partnered with Richard Harrison (of Alexandria, Virginia and later, Cadiz, Spain) to run a store in Alexandria, Virginia, from 1778 through at least 1790. Accounts in this journal (or day book) include house (overhead) accounts, fellow merchants and tradesmen, ships, and men and women living in Alexandria and the surrounding area.

Unlike a ledger, this journal accounts for the transactions that occurred each day - showing the debits and credits merged together. The journal will allow us to recreate the missing pages from the Hooe & Harrison ledgers during this time. This Work contains the year 1785 and contains 141 unnumbered pages. Be sure to check out the other sections of this same journal also part of this project. The original manuscript may be found within the collections of the various Hooe & Company ledgers at the New York Public Library.
