Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Ms. Coll. 682 A diary offering daily accounts of John Clifford's home life, especially the management of his orchards and gardens on his Philadelphia estate, located within walking distance of the Schuylkill River. The first entry is dated December 29, 1804 and the last entry was recorded December 28, 1809. Daily descriptions include his whereabouts for the day, the weather, some financial matters (1784-1809) and specific tasks of various men under his employ. Clifford briefly mentions his mercantile business within these pages but there is a loose invoice for the purchase of cloth in 1812. Beginning 5 pages from the end of the book and upside down from the diary entries is a list of the "Sale of the effects of William G. Smith a Bankrupt." Also included are 9 loose pages of genealogical notes on the Pemberton family. Primary language: English.
