SCOPE AND CONTENT
Records debits and credits accrued by Sampson from 1812 to 1829, although the date on the cover is 1809. He performed such tasks as setting glass, making window frames, "doing the cabin inside," putting casters on chairs, working on ships, building panel doors, making wagon bodies, weaving cloth and making twine, and painting and whitewashing. Sampson made a considerable amount of furniture throughout this period, including tables, clock cases, cow troughs (“troffs”), chests, trunks, desks, bedsteads, feather beds, ship tables, light stands, chairs, coffins, chests of drawers, and writing desks. Types of tools mentioned include augers, chisels, bit stocks and bits, bench screws, planes, gouges, and hand saws. It is not clear if he actually made the tools or simply sold them.
