Hey Adam,



 



  I am sure you probably thought about this, but look at town minutes for townships established around that period. You could also search for 18th to early 19th century advertisements in some of the newspapers at the NYPL. I think they have a colonial papers collection there.



 



Hope this is helpful.

Subject: stone costs and the revolutionary war





Hi Histarch community,

I am wondering if there are any resources that might discuss the costs of quarried stone during and after the Revolution in regards to the heavy rebuilding needed during recovery.  I am particularly interested in the NJ-Hudson River region (famous for the brown sandstone), but other later 18th century contexts would be interesting.  There is stuff out there for consumable goods such as wheat and other foods which was in high demand due to supporting the armies and destruction from occupation. 



Thank you, Adam Heinrich
