Scope and Contents
This collection consists of two ledgers kept by Thomas K. McCutchans, a blacksmith in Rockbridge, VA. The first ledger, from 1852-1867, lists the names of people McCutchans has accounts with and mostly deals with the purchases of household goods. Most of the pages are either blank or have been ripped out of the ledger. The second ledger, from 1866-1888, contains an index to all the accounts in the ledger, and most of the accounts are for household goods but there are some for spokes, harnesses, and welding shoes. Only one third of the ledger is completed with a few accounts in the back of the ledger.
