AI-assisted description (may contain errors):
Original handwritten farm account ledger, kept between 1891 and 1902, titled throughout as “Wellington Farm.” Internal entries identify the book’s origin as Nokes Junction, Powhatan County, Virginia, including the name “Ann Taylor, Nokes Junction, Powhatan Co., Va.” — almost certainly the owner or manager.

Roughly 130 pages of detailed ink records document produce sales, wages, and farm expenses. Crops include asparagus, peas, strawberries, beans, pears, cabbage, and radishes — all consistent with the late-19th-century truck-farming region of central Virginia along the Farmville & Powhatan Railway.

Dozens of named workers and tenants appear, such as Delaware Tinch, Levin Satchell, Geo. Cockey, Miller Brown, John Turner, and Chas. Feather — surnames verified in Powhatan and neighboring Amelia County census records of the 1890s-1900s. Daily pay, wagon hire, rent, and cash advances are tracked line by line, illustrating the rural labor system of the post-Reconstruction South.

Measures approx. 4.5 × 10 inches. Bound in heavy paper wraps; about 130 written pages. Surface wear, edge loss, and damp-staining from long use, yet legible and complete.

A substantial and well-documented Powhatan County Virginia farm ledger, providing an uncommon view into small-scale agricultural management and African-American wage labor in the 1890s.

PROVENANCE NOTE

Internal entries confirm this ledger was kept in Powhatan County, Virginia, near Nokes Junction on the Farmville & Powhatan Railroad. Names such as Ann Taylor, Delaware Tinch, Levin Satchell, Geo. Cockey, Miller Brown, John Turner, and Chas. Feather correspond to residents listed in Powhatan-area census and labor records of the 1890s-1900s, securely placing Wellington Farm within that community.
