    This artifact (one of two dozen pages) is from a ledger compiled by J.W. Sargent listing various products he sold as a merchant during 1851.  The two Philbrick’s listed in the ledger are Andrew J. Philbrick & Elbridge G. Philbrick of Danville, New Hampshire (see JC #132 on pages 146 & 147.)  The listing of Andrew J. Philbrick in the ledger seems to dispute Chapman’s listing of Andrew J. dieing as an infant in 1830. 

    Of interesting notes are the prices for some of the goods purchased by the Philbrick brothers on this and other pages within the ledger:

    50 lbs of Sugar, $4.00; 25 lbs of butter, $5.00; 2 Cows @ $15.00 each; 6 lbs of snuff, $ .72; 4 gallons of molasses, $1.00; 20 lbs of coffee, $2.40; 2 lbs of tobacco, $ .60.
