1H’s “Cash Book” chiefly relates to his legal practice. Because it contains also his personal accounts and because the entries on his law practice serve as a guide to his professional life in the seventeen-eighties, it is included in these volumes.

H’s entries have not been thoroughly annotated. An attempt has been made, however, to identify each individual with whom H had an account, but the individuals named in the various accounts have not been identified. Nor have the receipts which appear at the end of the cash book been annotated; many of the names mentioned in these receipts are identified in notes to the Cash Book proper, and many others are of persons too obscure to be found readily in any available source and, if found, too unimportant to warrant identification.

To facilitate cross references which H made and to indicate the accounts which appeared on the same page, the original pagination of the cash book has been retained. The page on which each account appears is placed above and to the left of the first account on that page.

2The earliest entry in the cash book was March 1, 1782; the latest was in 1791. The book has been assigned, therefore, the first and terminal dates.

3Van Cortlandt was the first lieutenant governor of New York, an office to which he was periodically re-elected for eighteen years.

4The firm of Jacob Le Roy and Sons, merchants, was located at 31 Maiden Lane in New York City.

5Abraham Ten Broeck (Brock) had been prominent in New York politics from 1761 when he entered the Provincial Assembly. From 1781 to 1794 he was judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Albany County. His son, Dirck, became an influential Albany lawyer and a member of the New York Assembly.

While in the United States, he married Angelica Schuyler, older sister of H’s wife, Elizabeth. When Church returned to England after the Revolution, he left the management of his American business affairs to H.

Although he remained in the United States after the war, little is known of his subsequent life. There is also a possibility that it may have been Leonard M.

46The firm of Thomas Lawrence and Jacob Morris, merchants, was located at 83 Broadway, New York City.
