William Flynn
This account book records the farming and lumbering activies of William Flynn and his family in Maine between 1856 and 1868. The family farmed, sold lumber products, provided teamster services, and sold apples and cider. There are also tailoring accounts; records for repairing and painting wagons and ladders; references to a gondola, which was a vessel for transporting goods on the Piscatuqua River; and accounts related to a "stud bull." The family employed a number of Irish immigrants and helped to send cash and letters to Ireland for some of these employees. The account book is also signed by Kinin Flynn and includes several pages of his accounts for a general store in South Gardner and Northfield, Massachusetts, from 1846 to 1848. The store offered a variety of goods including beef, fish, flour, butter, coffee, molasses, tobacco, boots, overalls, umbrellas, socks, and mittens.
