Webb and Sandford was a sale and exchange stable operating in Petersburg, Va., from 1878 to 1879. Managing partners of the livery stable were William A. Sandford and E. M. Webb.
Webb and Sandford Ledger, 1878-1879, was included as an exhibit in a Petersburg (City) chancery cause that dissolved the livery business. Part of the ledger was used as a cashbook recording cash received from customers and cash paid out for livestock, hay, and feed. The rest of the ledger recorded the accounts of individual customers. Information found in each entry includes date, type of transaction, and monies owed. Customers made payments for the hire of saddle horses, board of cattle and horses, feed, shoeing, and medicine.
For additional information see the Petersburg (City) Chancery Causes, William A. Sandford versus Admx. of E. M. Webb. It can be found in the Chancery Records Index at the Library of Virginia web site. The index number is 1882-023.
