The contra page shows payments were mostly made in cash, but are sometimes recorded as 'sundries' or other goods.  He also lists Family Expenses on page 92, Household Stuff on page 108, and Bills Receivable on page 134.","The ledger has additional notations beginning on page 194 written in a different handwriting from the original creator, the entries of which include a range of dates between 1883 and 1895.  These entries are consistent with the use of the manuscript as a ledger by the second creator.","A notation on the first page reads \"Lancelot Burrus Book, Given to him by his Mother, January 1, 1881.\"  Lancelot Burrus was a common name within the Burrus family serving as the name of both the son and grandson of William Tandy Burrus as well as his nephew and great-nephew.","There is also a bookplate in the front of book for William Stevens.  William Stevens was the brother of Elizabeth Stevens who married into the Burrus family.","\nWilliam Tandy Burrus was born in either 1766 or 1776 in St. Thomas Parish in Orange County, Virginia.  He married Martha Slaughter Burrus.  \"Burris\" is sometimes spelled \"Burris\" or \"Burruss.\"  He was the son of Thomas Burrus and Francis Tandy Burrus and had two brothers (Thomas Burrus and Roger Tandy Burrus) and three sisters.  He was a prominent land owner in Orange County, Virginia who also served as a witness for legal documents and as Justice of the Peace.  He had five daughters and five sons including Lancelot Burrus.  This Lancelot Burrus also had a son named Lancelot Burrus.  William Tandy Burrus died in 1831 in Orange County, Virginia.","William Tandy Burrus was the son of Thomas Burrus who was the son of Thomas Burrus and the brother of the William Tandy Burrus discussed previously.  His mother was Elizabeth Stevens. He married Philadelphia Burrus and died sometime before the writing of his father's will in 1836 perhaps in Clark County, Kentucky where the Burrus family had landholdings.  This branch of the Burrus family also had a number of descendants named Lancelot Burrus, including the son of William Tandy Burrus, one of whom might be the owner of the ledger in 1881.","Elizabeth Stevens, wife of Thomas Burrus, had a brother named William Stevens who is perhaps the William Stevens referred to on the name plate on the inside cover of the ledger.  William Stevens was the son of John Stevens, a prominent member of the Orange County community.  In his will, John Stevens mentions a store and house occupied by his son William Stevens.  William Stevens was born of June 22, 1773 and died in January of 1843.  He married Margaret Mill on February 9, 1801.  The Stevens and Burrus family appear to be closely connected in terms of both status, marriage, and their participation in the community.","Some names included in the ledger are:","Jackson Mills","Charles Mills","William Chiles","Henry Chiles","Jacob Graves","William M.
