SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The collection consists of a record book divided into two sections. The first section contains the records of a general merchandise store, the Loutre Lick Store, owned and operated (apparently) by Robert C. Fulkerson. These records include credit sales and cash payments made between July 1837 and August 1838 for such items as sugar, fabric, coffee, tobacco, and articles of clothing. No information is available on the establishment or dissolution of the store.
The second section contains lists of litigants and the proceeding minutes of each case brought before Fulkerson in his capacity as justice of the peace of Danville Township from 1843 through 1849. This section also includes the justice of the peace dockets of Fulkerson's immediate successors--William Basdell Holt (1849-1850) and James Bryant (1850-1859).
