"Because of the size of the ledger, I only copied the early part pertaining to their life in Lancaster and in Ohio in the very early years. Actually the original ledger was kept up by Josiah all the while he lived in Fairfield Co. and then on to Putnam Co., Ohio in 1833, until his death in 1844. It was then kept by his son Benjamin Franklin Irwin until 1864." Letter of Marjorie Featheringill Waterfield attached to the ledger.
Note on the family's leaving Lancaster County on last page.
