Account Book of James & Harris Hooe, 1793-1796

James & Harris Hooe ran a store independently in Alexandria, Virginia. The relationship between Robert T Hooe and James & Harris Hooe has yet to be determined (RTH does appear briefly in this ledger). This ledger includes the years 1793-1796 and was preceded by Ledger A (making this volume Ledger B). Accounts in this ledger include house (overhead) accounts, fellow merchants and tradesmen, and men and women living in Alexandria and the surrounding area, including 3 likely enslaved individuals.

This ledger includes 304 accounts across 138 folios. Be sure to check out the list of account holders and their associated folios, if you are interested in a specific person.

The original manuscript may be found within the collections of the various Hooe & Company ledgers at the New York Public Library.
