- Summary
- John Bellamy (1769-1834), the son of John Bellamy (1734-1810) and Mary Burnham (1738-1814) of Kittery, Maine, was a woodworker. The collection comprises two volumes (1 folder) belonging to John Bellamy: a book of arithmetic exercises written by his tutor, with Bellamy's answers, 1788; and John Bellamy's ledger of accounts for carpentry and other work done locally, 1791-1832. The amounts are calculated in pounds sterling, changing to dollars roughly after 1800. Payment is often in kind, including agricultural products, fish, shoes, timber, and weaving.
