Appendix I Materials Listed in Accounts with Hunter and Dick, Fredericksburg

Alphabetical Summary of Materials listed in Ledger G in Mercer’s accounts with William Hunter and Charles Dick, merchants of Fredericksburg. Definitions are based on information in A New Oxford Dictionary, Webster’s New International Dictionary (second edition, unabridged), Every Day Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, by George F. Dow (Boston, 1935), and a series of articles by Hazel E. Cummin in Antiques: vol. 38, pp. 23-25, 111-112; vol. 39, pp. 182-184; vol. 40, pp. 153-154, 309-312.

Allapine: A mixed stuff of wool and silk, or mohair and cotton.

Bombays: Raw cotton.

Bombazine: A twilled or corded dress material of silk and worsted, sometimes also of cotton and worsted, or of worsted alone. In black, used for mourning.

Broadcloth: A fine, smooth woolen cloth of double width.

Buckram: A kind of coarse linen or cotton fabric, stiffened with gum or paste. Murray quotes Berkeley, Alicphr ... (1832), “One of our ladies ... stiffened with hoops and whalebone and buckram.”

Calamanco: A light-weight material of wool or mohair and wool, sometimes figured or striped, sometimes dyed in clear, bright colors, and calendered to a silky gloss to resemble satin.

Calico: Murray defers to Chambers’ Cyclopaedia definition (1753): “An Indian stuff made of cotton, sometimes stained with gay and beautiful colours ... Calicoes are of divers kinds, plain, printed, painted, stain’d, dyed, chints, muslins, and the like.” It is not to be confused with the modern material of the same name.

Cambric: A fine white linen or cotton fabric, much used for handkerchiefs and shirts, originally made at Cambray in Flanders.

Camlet: A class of fine-grained material of worsted or mohair and silk, sometimes figured, sometimes “watered.” Moreen is one of its subtypes.

Check: Any checked, woven or printed, material.

Duffel: A woven cloth with a thick nap, synonymous with shag. Made originally at Duffel, near Antwerp. In a passage quoted by Murray, Defoe (A Tour of Great Britain) mentions its manufacture at Witney, “a Yard and three quarters wide, which are carried to New England and Virginia.”

Frieze: A coarse woolen cloth with a nap on one side.

Garlix: Linen made in Gorlitz, Silesia, in several shades of blue-white and brown.

Holland: A linen material, sometimes glazed, first made in Holland.

Kersey (often spelled “Cresoy” by Mercer): A coarse, long-fiber woolen cloth, usually ribbed, used for stockings, caps, etc.

Shalloon: A closely woven woolen material used for linings.

Prunella: A stout, smooth material, used for clergymen’s gowns, and later for the uppers of women’s shoes.

Tammy: A plain-woven worsted material, with open weave. Used plain, it served for flour bolts, soup and milk strainers, and sieves. Dyed and glazed, and sometimes quilted, it was used for curtains, petticoat linings, and coverlets.

Tartan: Woolen cloth woven in Scotch plaids.

In addition to these fabrics, there are listed “China Taffety,” “Silv^r Vellum,” “worsted,” “Pomerania Linnen,” “Russia Bedtick,” “Irish linnen,” “1 yd. India Persian,” “worsted Damask,” “Mechlin lace” (a costly Belgian pillow lace, of which Mercer purchased nine yards of “No. 3” at five shillings, and eight yards of “N^o 4” at six shillings), “sprig Linnen,” and “6 silk laces at 4½.”

For trimming and finishing, one finds white thread, black thread, nun’s thread, brown thread, blue thread, red thread, colored thread (all bought by the pound), gingham and hair buttons, “gold gimp ribband,” “pair Womens buckles,” fringe, coat buttons, vest buttons, scarlet buttons, silver coat buttons, shirt buttons, “mettle” vest buttons, “fine” shirt buttons, “course” shirt buttons, “Card sleeve buttons,” silver sleeve buttons, and cording. There were several purchases of haircloth, used principally in stiffening lapels and other parts of men’s clothing, but used also for towels, tents, and for drying malt and hops.

Appendix M Inventory of Marlborough, 1771

[John Mercer’s widow, Ann Roy Mercer, died at Marlborough September 2, 1770. By the next spring, James Mercer was operating Marlborough as one of four plantations owned by him. The overseer was Thomas Oliver. At the end of May 1771 Oliver drew up a statement of the conditions of the plantations and made a detailed inventory. This document has been reproduced in facsimile in A Documentary History of American Industrial Society.[216]

The following excerpts consist of the inventory, as it applied to Marlborough only, and of Oliver’s statement at the end. The “return,” as he called it, covered the period from May 1 to May 31, 1771. The reference to advertising the “sale” is apparently concerned with one of the unsuccessful public sales of John Mercer’s personal property.]
