William Peter
Esq. Account Book
Vellum covered account book, unable
to read what is written on the cover, spine has 5 R
written at top.
Book given to me by Jack Ingrey of
St Merryn, it was given to him by Mr Rowe of Trevethan
St Eval, and he in turn was left it with the farm by Mr
Jack Andrews of Trevethan Farm House, St Eval. Jack
Andrew was interested in St Eval Parish. The book refers
to several properties in the St Merryn area. An entry of
30th Oct 1830 suggests it belonged to William Peter Esq.
The book is incomplete, having a
few of the early leaves missing. It has been started at
the beginning, at the end and in the middle, so is
written in three separate sections. It is mainly an
account book with a header of a person's name at top of
page followed by accounts. On the whole it is for barley
or some agricultural service.
I am not transcribing in full but only any unusual
entries or entries of interest. The entries in the front
of the book tend to refer to employees, the back to
animals and grain. If anyone is particularly interested
in any entries, full scans can be provided. MMc
