ABSTRACTS FROM AN OLD ACCOUNT BOOK OF GEORGETOWN DISTRICT
By MABEL L. WEBBER

The following list of names is taken from a mutilated ledger now in the library
of the Winyah Indigo Society, Georgetown, S. C.

The covers and the first pages as well as the last, are missing, so that it is
impossible to determine the names of the merchants or factors who kept the
accounts. Various accounts were kept for a tan-yard, naval stores, and indico as
well as for the general store, and accounts were settled in rice indico, grain
and other such commodities. The list is taken for the interest it has in placing
the various people by localities, for the loss of all of the early records for
Georgetown district makes any early list of the people of that region of
interest, however incomplete. The full accounts are too long to reproduce, the
ledger begins in 1788.
