Matthias Hollenback Store Account Book
The account book begins with an entry dated Wyoming 22 November 1783
and the next entry is dated 13 Dec 1783 Newtown at which time Matthias
Hollenbeck evidently traveled from Wyoming, Pennsylvania up the Susquehanna
River and opened a store at Newtown, somewhere at or near present Elmira,
New York. On 18 June 1785 is a notation that the store was removed from
Newtown to Tyoga (present area of Athens, Pennsylvania). The information
below gives the names of those persons whom had accounts with Matthias
Hollenbeck at the Newtown store location and does not continue with those
in the Tyoga location. For that information consult File Box A125 at the
Tioga Point Museum in Athens, Pennsylvania. Typical items listed for a
person may have been rum, hides, calico, sundry goods, etc. Another book
is entitled Inventory of Newtown and Tioga Stores begun Dec 4th 1788 &
ended Jan 9th 1797, which indicates Matthias Hollenbeck returned to Newtown
and again operated a store there. Besides a lengthy list of inventory for
both stores there is also a list of persons with debts owed for both store
locations for the latter book. The following only endeavors to establish
when a person may have arrived in the area.
