1794 Worthington Day Book, Index
1794 Worthington Day Book
INDEX (items purchased) & (items bartered)
PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
How this index works:
Name of Customer (with variant spellings) (Town, if other than Worthington) [Number in Main
Ledger], the Day Book pdf page number (date of purchase)
(items purchased) (items bartered)
Examples:
The entry for
Acers, George [47]: 49 (04/26/1794)
can be found by opening the General Store Day Book pdf and entering 51 at the top (there are 126 total
pages). The easiest approach to locating a name is to scan down the leftmost column and look for the
Ledger Number, in this case [47]. The date for the entry is also provided because an individual page
can have multiple dates. Acers was the last customer on April 26, 1794. The next day the store was
open for business was April 29, 1794. Mr. Acers paid 4s/6p into his account on this date, and there are
no additional mentions of him readable in the Day Book.
Gurdain Palmer, on the other hand, made multiple transactions. Here is his entry in the index.
Palmer, Gurdain (Gurden) [18]: 8 (01/09/1794), 37 (03/24/1794), 47 (04/21/1794), 49 (04/29/1794),
67 (06/28/1794)
Palmer shopped at the store on 5 different days. One of those entries can also be found on page 51 of
the PDF file. Both the Ledger Number, ([18] in this case), and the date (April 29th), can help locate the
name. On this date, Palmer provided 53 pounds of sugar to the store for which he received a credit of
1£/6s/6p
Palmer’s purchase of a half-quire (around 7 sheets) of paper on 01/09/1794 is shown on page 8 of the
PDF file, but on this page his Ledger Number is unreadable because of page damage. It is underlined in
the Names Index to indicate an Unreadable Ledger Number on that page.

�1794 Worthington Day Book, Index
Two more things to note, both shown in the entries for Rufus Knowles, below.
Knowles, Rufus [17]: 7 (01/11/1794)
Knowles, Rufus [32]: 26 (02/19/1794)
Knowles, Rufus [86]: 23 (02/11/1794-cash payment), 29 (02/28/1794), 40 (03/25/1794-cash payment),
45 (04/10/1794-cash payment), 48 (04/23/1794), 62 (06/18/1794), 65 (06/24/1794), 73 (07/09/1794),
96 (09/09/1794), 111 (11/01/1794), 127 (11/18/1794)
Although most people charged their purchases, on occasion some paid cash. Within the Worthington
Day Book, cash payments are shown using the words “paid” or “cash” in the left-hand column where the
Ledger Number usually is located.
As shown on Day Book pdf p 23.jpg, Rufus Knowles paid 10 shillings in cash when he purchased ¼
pound of tea on February 11, 1794. He also paid cash in entries showns on pp. 40 and 45.
Finally, several people have more than one Ledger Number. This might have several causes –
possibly an entry error or running out of space on the initial page. Knowles is unique in having three
different Ledger Numbers attached to his name.

An account of the resource
1794 day book recording transactions for a Worthington general store. Digital files include a full-size 1.88 GB PDF of the entire book (file name 2022-100a.pdf), a compressed 75MB PDF of the entire book (file name 2022-100b.pdf), and an index by Diane Brenner (file name 2022-100c.pdf). The day book was acquired via Ebay.com in February 2021 and restored by the Northeast Document Conservation Center. Each page is sheathed in plastic, and the book can be inspected by wearing archival gloves. The most likely proprietor of the store was Spencer Whiting, and the store was most likely located on what is now Old Post Road, near the intersection with Radiker Road. By late 1794 Whiting had decided to move to Hartford, Connecticut, and he did so on March 20, 1795. The day book contains information on 396 customers and 3,606 transactions for a wide variety of goods. The day book records purchases of goods, items bartered, store credits, credit payments for goods and services, loans, and loan repayments. The day book is thus a treasure trove of information on the social and economic life of the period. The 38-page index includes a complete list of names and explains how to interpret the entries. In 2022 Diane Brenner researched and curated an exhibit in the WHS building about the day book and Worthington in the 1790s.

STONE WALLS
�— Editorial —
Fall in New England is such a glorious time of the year! Tourists come from great
— the same sights that we can see out of
our front windows or admire on the way to the mail box.
Despite the uncertainties of New England weather,
really
our best season —
distances to view the foliage in early October
fall
is
not just because of the spectacular color of the leaves but because the temperatures
are comfortable, the hot humid weather is past, the sun is likely to shine, and there are
no bugs. When I was a school girl, I always felt that it was unfair to have to return to
school just at the time when the weather was beginning to be at its best. Now I relish
the freedom to spend a perfect fall day outdoors, enjoying its beauty while I put the
garden to bed and try to catch up on some of the chores that must be done before
winter.
Some people think that fall is a sad time because it is the end of summer. True, the
trees will soon be leafless and bare, the birds are migrating south, and the length of
daylight is rapidly decreasing. But for Nature, it is planting time
— the seeds and nuts
fall to the ground to lie dormant over the winter ready to grow in the spring.
Some of the local colleges used to celebrate Mountain Day. A lovely fall day was
chosen and classes were cancelled so that students could enjoy the outdoors. Is
Mountain Day still observed? I don't know, but certainly a lovely fall day is a moment
to be enjoyed to its fullest. The celebration of Columbus Day here in Massachusetts is
an attempt in this direction, but the weather is not always cooperative. Perfection cannot be scheduled but only can be appreciated whenever it happens. Enjoy!

�The Worthington Rice Family
by Elizabeth Payne
Rice Homestead
A motorist on Route 112 coming from the south will enter Worthington Comers by passing between the library on the left and a fine old house on the right still known as "the Rice
House, " though no Rices have lived there since the death of Katherine McDowell Rice in
1946,
when it was sold.
When the house was cleared of Rice possessions, selected treasures were carried across
the street to be installed in a room on the upperfloor of the library, thereafter called "the Rice
Room." There were many books, with the bookcases to shelve them, souvenirs offoreign
travel. Rice family portraits and photographs, plays written by Katherine and the desk at
which she wrote them. The Civil War uniform and arms of Gen. James Clay Rice was
brought, and an elaborate baptismal robe worn by a Rice baby named Susan. In 1986 the
board of the library gave permission for the Worthington Historical Society to extend the uses
of this museum room. There is no desire to forget the Rices, however, so perhaps this is a suitable time to recall their history.

�The
Worthington was
capital city for her brother William A. Rice
William A. Rice, who came in 1803, built
house in 1806, and that year married
II (1820-1906), who went at nineteen to
work for his brother-in-law. He stayed on in
Rice
first
in
his
Wealthy Cottrell. Her father was Asa Cotwho had settled on Randall Hill on a
place now owned by Joan Mendelsohn. It
is recorded that she had been a teacher of
that city for a career in state civil service.
During these years he kept a place in
Worthington for summer use. This property, which he called "the Farm," is on
Old North Road, now usually known as
"Miss Vaughn's Place."
When this second William A. Rice retired in 1883, he came to Worthington to
trell,
William Cullen Bryant. This first William
Rice was called "Colonel" by virtue of having been named "Ensign of the Northern
Frontier" in the militia of the
wealth during the
Common-
War of 1812. Stained

They remember Susan's church work, her

had to attend to the sale of the house in
1946, had a career of forty-one years as a
professor of law at the University of Wisconsin. He is credited with having developed some of the first courses in Labor Law
and International Law. It is interesting to
read also of the unusual things he found to

Harvard he went with Dr. Grenfell on his

�Chester's Biggest Landowner:
JOHN CHANDLER
by Lucy Conant
As the French and Indian Wars came to

of Western Massachusetts was opened for
development. Some towns such as Bland-
inence in Worcester County. During the

settled earlier, but most of the land was still
unsettled except for a few venturous

9,
included what is now Chester, much of
Huntington and some of Middlefield and
Montgomery, contained about 24,700
acres and was bounded on the north by
New Hingham (now Chesterfield) and by
township No. 3 (now Worthington), on the
west by township No. 4 (now Becket), on
the south by Blandford and, in part, by
Westfield, and on the east by Southampton and Northampton.
On June 2, 1 762, township No. 9 was
sold by public auction at Boston to William
Williams of Hatfield for £1500. However,
he then relinquished the purchase to John
Chandler and Timothy Paine of Worcester,
John Murray of Rutland, and Abijah
Willard of Lancaster, all from Worcester
County. Later, Chandler, Murray, and
Paine sold one fifth of this ownership to
James Otis of Barnstable. Ods gave
Murray power of attorney to act for him
and evidently never was present at any of

division were squares of one hundred acres

where the church, cemetery, and old schoolhouse are presently located in Chester
Center.
At this first meeting held on January 5,
1763 in Northampton, John Chandler was
chosen moderator. Fifty-one settlers drew
lots and the settlement of township No. 9
began. The proprietors held a second meeting on September 29, 1763 at the home of
Thomas Kennedy who lived on Lot 68,
near the Middle Branch of the Westfield
River. They distributed among themselves
the sixty unallocated lots and a committee
was appointed "to lay out and stake the

Paine drew A, B, and N; Murray drew G,

Married twice, he was the father of sixteen

years of marriage, and he then married
Mary Church who had thirteen of the sixteen children. John Chandler owned about
five hundred acres of land in downtown
Worcester as well as other land in Worcester County, but his only holdings outside of
the County were evidently in township No.
9 in then Hampshire County. The Chandlers were a well-known, prominent family in
Massachusetts. When President John
Adams studied law in Worcester as a young
man, he lived for a time with the Chandler
family. John Chandler was an extremely
busy, wealthy, and successful man.
When he took refuge in Boston in 1774,
several sons accompanied him, but his wife

township had some opportunity for local
government and organization.
Of the approximately 25,000 acres in
township No. 9, John Chandler owned or
had claim to approximately 4,000 acres. In
the valuation list of 1777, he was the
wealthiest non-resident of Murraj^ield with
an assessed valuation of property at £5000.
By comparison, Abner Smith, the richest
resident, was worth £1273. By this time,
however, John Chandler had fled the country and was living in England. He was a
Tory, and six months before the battles of
Lexington and Concord, he had left his
Worcester home and sought safety with the

Chandler estate to support and raise the
younger children, Mrs. Chandler evidently
had to remain in Massachusetts. (Ultimately she received one third of her husband's
confiscated estate.) Chandler with two of
his sons were among the six inhabitants of

Banishment forbidding their return to this
