Credit
The December credit transactions are from 1758, not 1759.
GW left Williamsburg on 2 April 1759 or shortly thereafter and traveled with Mrs. Washington and, presumably, her children Martha Parke (Patsy) Custis (b. 1756) and John Parke (Jacky) Custis (b. 1754) to Mount Vernon, arriving there no later than 7 April.
In the credit entry dated for 18 April, GW inserted above “Chanes” his symbol for a misspelled word. He paid £2 for a chance on a raffle.
