Also omitted in this first part are some folio page numbers, inasmuch as this account book does not consistently follow th "Verso-Contra" convention.) Bennett, the Revd. Mr. Robert.

Some assumptions may be made from this entry.....he had five sons...he bought the shoes and ribbon for his wife or daughter...he bought educational materials for his children...he lived in the part of Hanover that converted to Louisa. Anyway, very interesting to have a peek at his selections.
