Title	John Hasbrouck Account Book
Creator	Hasbrouck, John (1806-1879)
Description	Account book of John Hasbrouck, which documents the labor he provided, and the compensation he received in return.
Notes	John Hasbrouck (1806-1879) was born a "slave servant" to Jacob J. Hasbrouck, a wealthy New Paltz landowner. Although not legally considered a slave, he was listed in Jacob J.'s inventory along with his mother at a price of $125, illustrating the ambiguous nature of servitude, and that in practice a servant was very often not much different than a slave. After the death of Jacob, in 1806, John was inherited by Jacob's son Josiah. In 1814, Josiah Hasbrouck built Locust Lawn, a small mansion located south of the town of New Paltz. John was freed some time between 1820 and 1830 as evidenced by his account book.
