This item came to the Library of Virginia in shipments of court papers from Lynchburg.
William Scholfield operated a general store in the Lynchburg, Va., area during the early nineteenth century.
William Scholfield Ledger, 1816-1818, records the accounts of individual customers of the general store. Information found in each entry includes the date of transaction, the notation "to merchandise" or "per order", and monies debited or credited to the account. Customer accounts were carried over from an unidentified ledger. In addition, for a brief period in 1862 the volume was used to record the proceedings of the Fairfax County Court. The proceedings contained the oaths of offices for various magistrates and public officers.
