Title	Gideon Howard account book, 1804-1828
Creator	Howard, Gideon
Date Original	1804/1828
Description	This is an account book of Gideon Howard dated 1804 to 1828 for a general store in Bridgewater Village, Plymouth Co. East Mass., on Taunton River and 27 miles south of Boston. Bridgewater Village was settled in 1650, and incorporated in 1656. There are 252 pages of which 248 are written also inside covers. Entries are numbered and indexed by family, with numerous original receipts laid in, some for estates that were delivered and inventoried by Mr. G. Howard.
