Sources:  Mrs. Mary Houston Carr donated her great-grandfather's medical ledger to the East New Market Museum, which was located in a front room of the building that formerly housed the East New Market High School.  The museum had ceased operating in the late 1980s.  In 1991 I borrowed the ledger from the former museum and transcribed its contents for publication in the Dorchester County Genealogical Magazine.  I returned the ledger to the former museum a few months later in 1991.  Several years later the High School was converted to apartments.  The current location of the ledger is unknown.  It is also unknown whether a Ledger A or B exist.
