Scope and Content

Ledger, 1857-1859, tan cover, 3 1/2" x 6" of Wm. Milstead New research suggests that this ledger may be connected to William Warfield, who had a store on upper Main Street that appears in the 1861 Laurel map. In addition to appearing many times in the ledger, Warfield is listed in both the 1870 and 1880 census as a dry goods merchant. The ledger was originally attributed to William Milstead, whose name also appears in it. However, no Milstead is recorded as running a hotel or other establishment until the 1880 census.
