Author: Warren D. Rowley
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: General wear and toning. Binding is loose with majority of pages detached for ledger with index.
Description: Trenton & Utica, NY, 1850. General wear and toning. Binding is loose with majority of pages detached for ledger with index.. A collection of five (5) ledgers belonging to Warren D. Rowley (1800-1854) Four (4) relate to his mercantile business and one with his personal finances. Rowley conducted business in Trenton and Utica, with his business partner, Daniel S. Curry (1820-1890), who was also his brother-in-law. The ledgers dates from 1834 to 1850. 1) A pair of related ledgers dating 1835 to 1841. The smaller ledger contains alphabetical index tabs listing Rowley & Curry's clients and corresponding page numbers. approx. 80 pgs, 10 are blank, They include the customer name, item purchased and cost. The items listed are for a variety of goods, such as: pocket knife, veal, shovel, oats, shoes, set of china, borax, and candle sticks. Both the index and the majority of the rest of the pages are loose or detached. Plain tan card stock covers. Measures 12 3/4" x 4 1/2". The corresponding ledger lists the accounts for each individual listed in the index. Interesting numbering system, hand numbered by Rowley, every other page, allowing a second page of accounting per customer. Includes 156 accounts and 312 pages with most pages filed. The accounts in this book record only the financial transaction's themselves, rather than the items sold. As such the majority of the entries list the name of the account holder, date of transaction, and a series of monetary numbers that appears to be interest added to the account of a period of time. Notes are made on the account when it is either paid in part or full. Several of both Rowley and Curry's relatives are listed in the ledger. Half bound leather and marbleized covers. Measures 12 1/2" x 8". 2)The third ledger with marbled stock wraps, begins with a Memorandum of Goods for the business, along with a few individual accounts and dates from 1834-1836. Next there are approximately ten (10) pages devoted to transactions between Warren and his brother, Hiram Rowley (1811-1841), as they trade by barter. The rest of the ledger is blank until the end, when reversed and used as a composition notebook for class. This section is entitled "Philosophical Notebook: Names of Pupils in Philosophical Class: Mary Ann Bull, Julia Wakefield". It is unclear how these two girls are related to Rowley, but most likely one his daughters and her friends used the book for notes. There are nine pages of notes relating to a variety of scientific fields such as Physics and Dynamics. Often times within the notes it states a scientific law, such as the law of motion, and then detailed out a small experiment or real word observation that proves the law. Marble covers. Approximately 1/4 filled. Measures 7 3/4" x 6 1/2". 3) The fourth ledger is entitled "Rowley & D. S. Curry Memorandum , April 1847" and includes inventory of their stock from their store in South Trenton, NY. The items are divided into the following categories: Groceries, Dairys [sic], Hardware, Crockery, Dry Goods, Fancy Goods, Hats & Caps, Shoes, and an untitled paper goods section. After this inventory are several pages of recordings of a variety of cash transactions both to individuals and other businesses. Blue wrappers. Stitched binding. Nearly completely filled. Measures 5 1/5" x 3 1/2". 4) The ledger dates from 1840-1950, and appears to record various personal financial transactions of Warren D. Rowley.

Some of the items are: candles, molasses, flour, "paid Patrick 1 1/2 day", eggs, 1 1/2 yards of flannel, and beef.

Measures 5 3/4" x 3 3/4". To view the collection, please click on the following link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/KH47h4jCPJ9kBrAG9. Note: The business name Rowley & Curry should not be confused with Curry, Rowley & Co., a printing firm in Utica, NY started in 1866 by Warren's sons Hiram C. and Warren C. and Orrin Curry (1816-1915), who was Warren D.'s brother-in-law (and Daniel S. Curry's brother), and therefore the two boy's maternal uncle. Warren Dunham Rowley was born on June 20th, 1800 to Asher Rowley (1766-1843) and Mehitable Dunham (1774-1839) in Winsted, CT. . He married Nancy Davis Stanton (1813-1837) on October 20, 1835 in Trenton, NJ, and had one daughter Nancy Davis Rowley (1837-1846). After the death of his first wife, he remarried Harriet Maria Curry (1818-1889) in 1837 and had 8 children with her: 3 unnamed infant children who died, Warren Curry Rowley (1841-1928), Hiram Curtis Rowley (1844-1922), Nancy Helen Rowley (1846-1925), Sarah Cornelia Rowley (1850-1952), and Harriet Sophia Rowley Parker (1853-1943). Warren Rowley at the age of twenty taught school for several years in Chesterfield, VA and Winsted, CT before moving to Utica, NY (and later Trenton, NY) and entering the mercantile business. For a time he was business partners with his brother-in-law Daniel S. Curry (1820-1890). He was commissioner of schools and Justice of the Peace for several terms in Trenton, NY. Warren died at the age of 54 on September 5, 1854. Of Note: Warren's son, Hiram C. Rowley would marry Thirza Jane Merriam (1845-1919), and join her family's printing business, Merriam-Webster.
