Abstract
The business papers of Moses H. Crouch, a farmer and miller who lived near Huttonsville, Randolph County, West Virginia, in
the nineteenth century. Chiefly contains receipts, deeds, promissory notes, and other financial and legal documents related
to Crouch's business and property from the 1840s to the 1890s. Receipts and account information document the sale of dry goods
and textiles, including meat, coffee, tobacco, sugar, tea, oatmeal, peaches, silk, thread, and chambray. Legal materials include
deeds, insurance information, tax documents, and other information related to land tracts owned by Crouch. While most of the
materials are Moses Crouch's papers, there are also documents for George Long, Andrew Crouch, and John Crouch. Early materials
from 1802, 1821, and 1830 consist of land indentures. Also included are two account ledgers, from 1839 to 1899 and from 1853
to 1870, that record purchases of grains such as flour, corn, flax, and wheat by the pound and by the bushel and note payments
on accounts.
