Transcription
May 26 1788 to 5 loads of Stone
Commentary
That's it!
Since this falls between other documents involving Arent and hi wife, I'm assuming this is Arent's note.
Notes:
- Five loads of stone — no price, no party named, no further detail. A bare memorandum of a stone delivery in May 1788.
- 1788 — now two years after the Arent Huyck vs. Howe judgment, and thirteen years after Elizabeth’s accounts were being wound up. The archive has moved firmly into the post-Revolutionary period.
- The stone delivery connects to the long thread of stone work running through the archive — the stone breaking by James de Goljer in the 1760s, the 200 rough stones in Johannis Huyck’s account, the masonry costs in the construction memoranda of the early 1770s. Stone remained a significant building material on the Huyck farm property.
- The absence of names or prices suggests this was a quick note to record a delivery, possibly by Arent managing the farm in 1788.
