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. HOLTZMAN, JOHN first entry 11/20/1833, "account out the other book" Joseph Kimes (also spelled Keims) Wife Sally (first mention 1/11/1834) - multiple entries Henry (first mention 9/8/1834) - multiple entries Henry Holtzman Anny Labo Mary Readel Elizabeth Holtzman Mary (first mention 2/18/1836) - multiple entries Mary Harmon Elizabeth (first mention 8/27/1836) LENKER, MICHAEL first entry 12/6/1833 "account out the nother book" Elias (first mention 12/6/1833) Mocy (also spelled Mosy, Macy, Mosey, Moses) (first mention 12/6/1833) Wife Joseph (first mention 1/4/1834) Elisabeth (first mention 1/7/1834) Sally (fist mention 2/10/1834) Susanna (first mention 2/10/1834) Polly (first mention 12/31/1835) Molly Sondo Moses McLain RIEGEL, BENJAMIN First entry 11/18/1833 Wife John (first mention 11/23/1833) Elizabeth Zeagler (also spelled Zeaglern) Andrew Keefer Daniel (first mention 12/6/1833) Mary (first mention 12/7/1833) Catty (first mention 1/21/1834) Mary (first mention 1/21/1834) John (first mention 3/11/1834) Polly (first mention 10/29/1834 - maybe same as Mary?)
