Scope and Content Note
The records of John Glassford and Company span the years 1743-1846, but
bulk largest in the period 1760-1820. They include ledgers, journals,
daybooks, inventories, cashbooks, and letterbooks for the various
mercantile firms which represented or succeeded John Glassford and Company
in Maryland and Virginia. The records are organized geographically into two
series: Maryland and Virginia.
John Glassford (1715-1783) was one of the most prominent and prosperous of
the Scottish "tobacco lords." Glassford, an original member of the Glasgow
Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, was a leading force in the
establishment of Glasgow, Scotland, as an international trading center. By
the latter part of the eighteenth century, he controlled a major portion of
the Chesapeake tobacco trade, despite having never travelled to America.
Represented by agents or factors, Glassford established a system of branch
stores along the Potomac River for the purpose of purchasing tobacco
directly from planters. By this method of direct purchase, Glassford and
his associates were able to pay higher prices for tobacco than English
consignment merchants. While higher prices brought the Scottish firm new
customers, its ability to extend credit and provide planters with consumer
goods helped to insure its domination of the Chesapeake tobacco trade. The
sale of goods such as hardware, rum, wine, sugar, salt, and slaves became a
major source of revenue for the branch stores.
This collection reflects the daily transactions normally carried on in the
branch stores. The transactions were often recorded in rough form on throw
sheets and then carefully recorded in the store's journal (or daybook) and
ledger (or account book). Accounts were maintained for each individual or
firm trading with the store and for various types of produce or goods
collected for export or resale. Numerous names of slaves appear in both the
daybooks and account books. A major portion of the collection deals with
the Revolutionary War era. The letterbooks of Alexander Hamilton, factor
for Piscataway, Maryland, and Robert Fergusson, factor for Georgetown,
Maryland, reveal the difficulty Glassford and Company and subsequent firms
encountered when collecting pre-war debts. Inventories for the schooners
Felicity and Plato also appear in the collection.
Under the firm name of Glassford and Company, Glassford operated stores in
Maryland at Baltimore, Benedict, Bladensburg, Chaptico, Georgetown (later
part of Washington, D.C.), Leonardtown, Llewellin's Warehouse, Lower
Marlboro, Newport, Nottingham, Piscataway, Port Tobacco, and Upper
Marlboro. John Glassford and Archibald Henderson under the firm of
Glassford, Henderson & Company operated stores in Virginia at Alexandria,
Colchester, and other sites; and with associates James Gordon and Walter
Monteath, Glassford operated Glassford, Gordon, Monteath & Company at
Quantico, Dumfries, and Norfolk.
With the death of John Glassford in 1783, the surviving members of
Glassford and Company, Henry Glassford, James Gordon, Henry Riddell, John
Campbell, and Archibald Henderson, presented the power of attorney for the
company to Robert Fergusson, factor for Georgetown. It is unclear when the
company passed out of the hands of the Scottish merchants and into the
control of local owners. From 1800 to 1816 the firm of Vincent & Fergusson
carried on the bulk of the business. From 1816 to 1834 the firm was called
Thompson, Edelen & Company. In Glassford and Company's most successful
years, those prior to the American Revolution, the company owned a fleet of
twenty-five ships and imported ten percent of all tobacco received by Great
Britain. The value of Glassford's yearly imports over this period has been
estimated to be in excess of £500,000.
The collection includes records of the following firms: Glassford and
Company; Glassford, Henderson & Company; Glassford, Gordon, Monteath &
Company; Henderson, Fergusson & Gibson; Findlay, Hopkins & Company; James
Brown & Company; Boyle, Scott & Company; Jamieson, Johnstone & Company;
Shortridge, Gordon & Company; James Gordon & Company; Vincent & Fergusson;
and Thompson, Edelen & Company. Prominent names found in the collection
include William Bayles, William Byrd (1728-1777), Landon Carter, George
William Fairfax, William Fitzhugh, Neil Jamieson, Henry Lee, Richard Henry
Lee, George Mason, George Plater, Hector Ross, George Washington, and
Lawrence Washington.
