Commentary
Notes:
- John Williams — a new name, signing a full settlement receipt just fifteen days after Joseph Carnahan’s partial school payment. The two receipts in quick succession in November 1772 suggest Elizabeth was systematically settling outstanding accounts at year end, as we’ve seen her do in previous years.
- £1:11:0 — a modest sum for a full settlement, suggesting a small running account rather than a major transaction.
- “In full of all accounts” — the comprehensive settlement formula we’ve seen throughout the archive, closing whatever relationship existed between Elizabeth and Williams entirely.
- John Williams — an entirely English name, consistent with the anglicizing community around Kinderhook in the early 1770s.
- The November 1772 cluster of receipts — Carnahan on the 12th, Williams on the 27th — suggests Elizabeth’s habitual year-end account settling, consistent with the pattern we saw in December of previous years.
