1. Paymaster Alexander Boyd paid for Capt. John McNeill the £6 that McNeill borrowed from GW in January 1759 (General Ledger A description begins General Ledger A, 1750–1772. Library of Congress, George Washington Papers, Series 5, Financial Papers. description ends , folio 43).

2. GW was paying Miles Richardson a part of the pay due him as GW’s military servant in 1758 (ibid., 53).

3. Although the accounts of the two men in GW’s General Ledger A description begins General Ledger A, 1750–1772. Library of Congress, George Washington Papers, Series 5, Financial Papers. description ends do not show the purchase of a horse by GW, Colonel Moore was probably Col. Bernard Moore (c.1720–1775), who was an early importer and breeder of race horses; but it may have been his brother Col. Thomas Moore (died c.1796). The two men were near neighbors on the Pamunkey River. See Diaries description begins Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, eds. The Diaries of George Washington. 6 vols.

4. The £10 GW lent John Campbell in March was repaid in May 1759 (General Ledger A description begins General Ledger A, 1750–1772. Library of Congress, George Washington Papers, Series 5, Financial Papers. description ends , folio 51). This was probably the John Campbell who recently married Martha Washington’s widowed cousin, Mary Dandridge Spotswood.
