Notes:
- Elizabeth Huyck — now acting as the principal in her own right, consistent with the 1768 estate document giving her the life interest in the farm. She has stepped fully into the commercial role previously held by Jacobus.
- £1 12s — a modest settlement of all accounts.
- April 3, 1768 — just a month after the March 1768 estate settlement, Elizabeth is already actively managing accounts.
- The date also falls within the account book period — suggesting Elizabeth was indeed the one continuing the account book after Jacobus’s death in late 1767 or early 1768.
This document and the school bills together show Elizabeth as a capable and independent commercial operator in her own right — paying school fees, settling accounts, managing the farm — a more complete picture of her than the archive had previously offered.
