Captured in a Ledger


In "The American Historical Register"  Charles Henry Browning created the Philadelphia Business Directory of 1703.  Using the ledger entries of William Trent, he compiled a list of parties with whom Trent had opened accounts. Included below in the compilation is our ancestor, Edmund DuCasteel, who had three recorded transactions in Trent's ledger.

Published in 1895, "The American Historical Register" can be read online at openlibrary.org
