Daybook, unknown, 1828-1829
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
This daybook is of unknown origin. It was included in the sale of Maclean papers from the Edna Netter estate. Dealer Joseph Felcone notes that the only estate he knows that Edna Netter bought in Princeton was the one containing the Maclean papers, and since this volume has many Princeton-area surnames, he included it with the Maclean papers that came from the Netter estate. The book contains names including Green, Savage, Terhune, Leigh, Tulane, Blackwell, Hunt, Bartine, Conover, Foster, Updike, Pittenger, Voorhees, Roe, Teisseire, Wilson, and Hatfield, among others, with charges for goods such as molasses, flour, cloth, chickens, pigs, coffee, tobacco, fish, clams, salt, butter, quinces, candles, ginger, wool, lard, paper, and many others, as well as services such as shoeing, wheel hooping, hog killing, and shear sharpening.
Collection History
- Custodial History
According to Joseph Felcone, the seller, papers in Series 6 (AR.2021.009) all came from the papers of Edna Netter, who was a New Jersey antiques dealer active from the 1920s to the 1950s. Felcone writes that Netter acquired all the Maclean material from an estate auction in Princeton. Edna Netter's business partner, Virginia Smith, was also Netter's exeutrix. Virginia Smith's descendants, Denise Smith and Amy Smith, sold Maclean papers in this collection to Princeton University through Joseph J. Felcone.
Other papers in this collection derived from the Edna Netter estate, as well.
