John Hull's system of book-keeping was a sort of double-entry, or
a " mixed method." It was very exhaustive, giving to every department
of the colony's transactions a separate ledger account, as well
as to every person mentioned in the Journal. Some of these accounts
are of interest as curiosities, such as "Bisket," "Ammunission,"
"Wast-Coats and Drawers," " Liqors," "Tobaco& pipes,"
" Wounded-men," "Contingencies," " Woolves," "Captives," "Distressed
Dutchmen," "Quakers," " Scalpes," "Perquisites," "Queries."
These last two may suggest the idea that some of his forms
of account might have been kept up with profit to the government.
As to the spelling of the names below, I have not departed in the
least from the original. It must be remembered that the names
were entered in the Journal from " Debentures " made by the clerks
of companies, and the names at the first were entered on the company
rolls as each man was understood to pronounce his own name,
and unless the clerk was acquainted with the name he spelled it by
the easiest method ; hence many strange variations appear. The
Ledger account often has two forms for the same name.
