Jonathan Andrews Account Book
Scope and Contents Note
This account book belonged to Scarborough, Maine blacksmith Jonathan Andrews (1746-1806). It records his daily business from 1803 to 1806, including making sleigh rails and arms, teapot handles, pitchforks, axes, nails, chains, cranes, hoes, door hinges, plows, and shoeing horses and oxen. Following his death in 1806, his son Ezekiel Andrews (b. 1784), also a blacksmith, took over the account book, which records his daily business from 1806 to 1813. Ezekiel Andrews moved from Scarborough to Kennebec in 1809, and then to Effingham in 1810.
