figures are aligned for adding. I don't know how to format that.
No worries -- I'll format it when I review and index everything.
(Happy to send you the docs for formatting tables, but they're kind of hard to deal with regardless.)
Not sure which "Miss McCullock" is referred to here.
I have no idea what the reference could be in the July 1852 entry: "By 1 pr Trace chase which he said he found"
I suspect that the character transcribed as a capital T in Trace is actually an ornate capital L. But the whole sentence doesn't make sense with that. However, would "by one pair Lace chane" (=="lace chain") make any more sense?
After comparing the earlier entry "cash lent you in Lynchg for Traces" I decided that I was wrong about the capital L and am changing it back to T.
Okay, MW online gives this definition of "trace chain":
trace chain noun
1 a: a harness trace of chain b: a short chain by which a leathern trace is linked with a whiffletree
2: a long strong chain which is attached to a line and along which two or more pairs of draft animals are attached usually by whiffletrees
And now I know what a whiffletree is!
