Is anyone on the list familiar with a source for export data from New York State for the period from the mid 1790s through to about 1825? I am looking for data on various agricultural goods--beef, butter, wheat, etc. I have checked the volume on Commerce in AMERICAN STATE PAPERS (1832). That lists U.S. exports (and imports) for the entire period. It details the various items that were exported (eg, amounts of potash, etc). And for a few years in the early 1790s that information is broken down by state. But by 1795 or so the information is no longer identified by state of origin. Any suggestions? are there perhaps exports records just for the port of New York? (I understand that all the sources of data from the period are questionable.) Thanks And thanks to all those who helped me with my recent query regarding 19th century new york state township maps. Ian McGiver [log in to unmask]
