This was compiled by Josiah Ingalls, owner of the Fitzwilliam General Store, Fitzwiliiam, New Hampshire (near Mass. line) from 1808 to 1837 when some final balances were paid. There are 386 pages of which 374 are written. The journal covers the accounts of its customers who lived in such places as: Jaffreytown, N.H. (settled 1758, inc. 1773); Keene, N.H. (settled 1736, inc. 1753, city 1873); Marlborough, N.H. (inc. 1776); Winchester (settled 1732, inc. 1753); Rindge, N.H. (on Mass. line in hilly region); Richmond, N.H. (on state line of Mass., state fishery there). This is an important and complete journal for a small town with several surrounding towns all of whom had customers at the Fitzwilliam General Store. It covers sales of wood: bushels of goods, carting services of goods to Boston, oats, etc. A penciled note in the cover of the book states "April 8, 1960 Boyd Allen got this record from within the walls of the Fitzwilliam General Store when it was remodeled." This journal covers some of the early history of these small towns and their day to day life.
