520 | |a Jeremiah Boone and his son William R. Boone, were Philadelphia merchants and shippers. They traded in foodstuffs to the non-British West Indies with return cargoes of sugar, molasses, tobacco, leather, and hides. They owned several small ships and dealt extensively with south Jersey farmers to assemble their cargoes. To 1820 Jeremiah Boone was the principal, and afterwards William assumed that role. William Boone, in particular, entered into many partnership agreements, particularly with John B. Sartori of Trenton, N.J., yet the business never really prospered. The collection contains correspondence, bills of lading, invoices and insurance policies relating to their trade, 1815-1833 as well as a smaller number of personal, legal, and estate papers, 1762-1831. | ||
