Account book of Elijah and Benjamin Brown (father and son) and later carried on by Elizabeth Brown, wife of Benjamin, in East Weare, N.H.

The accounts for this volume date from 1791 to 1848 and are quite interesting. Accounts prior to 1800 are listed in pounds, shillings and pence while after 1800 they are listed in dollars.
