Historical/biog note:
Christopher Champlin and Aaron Lopez were general merchants in Newport, Rhode Island, during the late eighteenth century. They acquired many of their goods from wholesale importers and merchants in New York City and Long Island. Aaron Lopez drowned in an accident at Scott's Pond, five miles outside of Providence, on May 28, 1782.
Abstract:
These papers consist of correspondence relating to the business affairs of Christopher Champlin and Aaron Lopez, general merchants in Newport, Rhode Island. These two individuals were not in partnership. The bulk of the papers consists of incoming correspondence from importers and merchants in New York City and Long Island concerning goods imported from England, etc., as well as domestic locations. These papers also include plans for overseas voyages, announcements of available goods, arrangements for orders, discussions of prices, and statements of account.
Abstract:
Among the correspondents to Christopher Champlin are members of the Livingston family. Most prominent is the correspondence from Peter R. Livingston (1737-1794), a member of the Provincial Congress of colonial New York and an officer during the Revolutionary War. These papers are valuable for the study of business practices among wholesalers and importers in the eighteenth century.
