Additional Details

Andrew Faneuil was a Huguenot refugee who became one of the most successful merchants in Boston. His nephew and heir, Peter Faneuil, donated Faneuil Hall to the city shortly after Andrew's 1738 death. This leaf details Faneuil's accounts with fellow Boston merchant John Draper from 1699 to 1704.
