BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

Abner Vincent & Abiel Nelson apparently owned a general store in Fairhaven, Bristol County, Massachusetts, in the first third of the 19th century.  Abner Vincent originally bought the business from Amos Braley in 1815 and signed on Abiel Nelson as co-owner.  Later, one of Vincent's sons, Abner Jr. or William, apparently became a partner and the name was changed to Vincent & Son.

 

Abner Vincent appears to be the man of that name who was born around March 1765, the son of Isaac and Hannah Vincent.  He married Phebe Stevens (1764-1825) and they had a number of children, including daughters Hannah and Almira, both of which names appear in bills.  Abner died May 4, 1849.  His son Abner Junior lived 1796-1832.  Son William lived 1791-1837.

 

Abiel Nelson was not identified in a genealogy website.  Several men of that name lived in Massachusetts at the same time, and not enough evidence was found to point to the one involved in these records.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

This collection of bills documents the purchases made for the store operated by Vincent & Nelson between 1815-1835.  Many of the bills are from Boston or New Bedford merchants.  Evidence suggests that goods were transported by ship to Fairhaven.  Items sold in the store include such ceramic tableware as bowls, plates, dishes, and mugs; as well as hardware, food, liquor, tobacco, and sundry items like combs, pens, papers, wigs, and guns.  Repairs were also noted, most likely personal expenditures, not related to the store.  These include mending shoes, wallpapering, painting, and fixing floor boards.
