Notes:

"A continuation of the series begun by the first Christopher Sower in 1738. Dunlap, who purchased the confiscated effects of the younger Sower in 1778, disposed of his interest in the Almanac to Leibert and Billmeyer in 1784, and it was continued by them for many years."--Hildeburn.

Wittwe Ottin [or Witwe Ottin] tentatively identified as the widow of bookbinder George Otto (1716-1762); designated "Anna Maria Ott" when her will was recorded in 1784. Cf. Kinsella & Spawn, "Learning from Binders," in Teaching bibliography, textual criticism and book history (2015).
