- Summary:
- Description: A waste book detailing day-to-day transactions of the merchant company Amory, Taylor, & Rogers, including lists of cash and credit given and received and goods bought and sold.
- Notes:
- The Amory Family Papers include the business records of the Boston-based merchant establishment of Amory, Taylor, & Rogers, which existed from 1769 to 1783. In 1769, brothers Jonathan and John Amory took on Joseph Taylor as a partner to form the merchant importing house of Amory's and Taylor. In 1770, Samuel Rogers joined the business, changing the name to Amory, Taylor, and Rogers. With the evacuation of Boston in 1776, Loyalists John Amory, Joseph Taylor, and Samuel Rogers fled America, leaving Jonathan Amory in charge of the merchant house. At the end of the Revolution, the Amory brothers resumed business without Taylor and Rogers, at which point they became Jonathan and John Amory and Company. The business records include journals, wastebooks, account books noting business transactions, credits, and the importation of dry goods for wholesale to New England merchants, and letterbooks containing business correspondence about imports and the shipment of goods from Europe to Boston for resale.
