Chapman (1880), p. 719
- E. S. Reynolds — bought Daniel Antrim’s stock after Antrim’s one year (so c. 1838); sold to Richardson in 1840. First name not given in Chapman and not reached elsewhere. [LINE] - A. P. Richardson — bought from Reynolds in 1840; “kept the store till about 1845.” First name not given / not reached. [LINE] - James Harvey — purchased the stock c. 1845 and “started a general store”; “continued in business till 1867” (Chapman p. 719). The Nomination compresses the whole succession as the town’s only significant enterprise until after the Civil War (NL-1). Harvey also appears as a donor to the Seventh-Day Advent church built in 1868 (Chapman p. 720; the biography set has no Harvey entry). [LINE, the fullest of the three] Carrying fact for the set: the assignment asked for “first names dug if the record carries them” — the record as reached carries full first name for Harvey only (James), and initials only for Reynolds (E. S.) and Richardson (A. P.). That is the honest result; the initials are the gap (§9, G-P-3), not a licence to guess.
