On offer is a post-revolutionary 1796 operational ledger sheet of the prominent Dutchess County, Amenia, New York family of Captain Noah Wheeler. The ledger sheet details exactly how a post-Revolutionary farm family managed their wheat, their assets, debts, and the passing of the torch from a veteran father to his adolescent sons. This ledger sheet was kept by Captain Noah Wheeler (1743-1823) and two of his sons. Capt. Wheeler was a descendant of the prominent Wheeler family of New York State. He was a member of the 6th Regiment (Charlotte Precinct) Dutchess County Militia. Detailed BIO NOTES can be found at the end of this listing. In 1796, Capt. Wheeler, then in his early 50s, was working in wheat production alongside his 15- and 18-year-old sons, Thomas Newcomb (1773-1844) and Anthony (1771-1840). In autumn of that year they were producing wheat, and kept this balance sheet to track details of their sowing and production, external sales, internal consumption, financial balances and debts. The sheet also includes details such as who purchased the wheat, what is owed to each of the three Wheelers, or how much they owed. On the verso is written "Account of Wheat in 1796 of Noah Wheeler Anthony & Thomas N his sons. " The title is written in the same hand as that of the balance sheet itself. This document provides surprisingly deep insight into the daily lives of the patriarch and young men of a rural pioneering American family, and gives a glimpse into the work a father did to prepare his sons to take over the family business as they became men. Condition: Large ledger sheet measuring approximately 13.5"x7.75". It has been folded and there is ++ age toning, some light stains and splitting along fold lines consistent with its age and use. It is entirely legible and written in ink. Overall Fair. BIO NOTES: Noah Wheeler was born in Connecticut to Captain Thomas Wheeler (1715-1754) and Eunice Gates (1718-1787).
