LEDGER OF SOLOMON V. SIMONS

 

Names found in ledger of Solomon V. Simons, who was a merchant in what is now Union County, North Carolina, that was at the time either a part of Mecklenburg County or Anson County, NC. The exact location of this store is not known, but is thought to have been near the line adjoining the two previous counties, just South of present-day Monroe.

 

Most of the listings are store accounts from July-Nov, 1831, with some miscellaneous records dating from 1831-1847.

 

Transcribed as spelled in original ledger by Julie Hampton Ganis, although I've added in brackets what I believe to be the CURRENT or ALTERNATE spelling of the name.

The original ledger is the property of the Union County Heritage Room, Monroe, NC.
