Cuba - Matanzas is a peninsula town in Cuba

1. Matanzas, "Nov.1.1819," 512 lbs, reference is "El Destino Felipe Dickinson 1819." In Joseph Warren Revere's handwriting in Wastebook 1818-1825, page 27 of the Proquest collation notes James Sargent 1 bell Matanzas. Left margin lists 72 as the account number in his ledger account books. Page 39, letterbook, 1819-1821, to Dickinson discussed broken bell of 512 lbs and replacement costs. JWR clearly suggests bell was stroked improperly.

2. Matanzas, "Mar. 18.1820," 522 lbs, followed by a stamp in the listing, "Notone" with an oversized cross image above the word Avanzah (likely misspelled). "Santiago Maxxxxxx." Could Avanzah be a forwarding agent? Santiago de Cuba is a large Cuban city. Wastebook 1818-1825 Proquest collation shows this and bell 3 immediately below ordered by James Sargent, discount 6%. Eph Thayer truck the bells.

3. GS Sargent xx, "Mar.18, 1820," 507 lbs. Sargent acquires three bells, see 2 above and 8 below, all seem related to Cuba.

4. Cuba, "November 20, 1824," 885 lbs, purchased by W. Savage or Lavage $309.75

5. Cuba, "November 20, 1824," 340 lbs, purchased by W. Savage or Lavage, see wastebook 1818-1825 page 164 November 13 1824 ledger 223 $119.00, both purchases include tongue and hooks.

6. Havanah, "May 23 1818," 513 lbs, special note to Mr. Jenckxx. More research needed on all Cuban bells, starting with the Havana Cathedral.

7. Matanzas, "9 April 1821," 492 lbs. Appears to be a replacement for the Dickinson bell, number 1 above.

8. Matanzas, "Nov,21.1821" 1,158 lbs by J(?) Sargent, Jr.(?) Accounts 1818-1825 show a Winthrop Sargent account 213.f

9. Sent to Cuba, by "J. A. Bacon" December 30.1820, 1,192 lbs.

10. Sent to Cuba, "December 30, 1820" by J.R or J. A. Bacon. 586 lbs. In wastebook 1818-1825 page 51, "December 26,1820" ledger 102. Check ledger for end-user?

11. "June 4. 1823," 585 lbs, J A Bacon. Not certain this went to Cuba. Wastebook 1818-1825 adds nothing. Review ledger102. Ledger/account provides only charges and payment types and date of bell casting. No size or end-user if the account is an individual. The ledger debit listing under J A Bacon's account, ledger 102 is $432, exactly $.40 a pound. Ledger is page 79 of the Quest collation, Accounts 1818-1825.

12. "October 24, 1822," 1,080 lbs by J A Bacon, possibly for Cuba? J A. may be Jarib Bacon of Boston and Vermont that lived until 1833. The Bacon archives in Newton Mass, is closed until March 2026. No response to initial emails. Bacon appears to be a marketeer and freight forwarder.

13. J. A. Bacon 9/29/1823 733 lbs, possibly to Cuba research ledger 102. Correspondence begins Aug 3 1819. Middle initial is clearly R, suffix Esq, pricing for bells were noted. This bell appears to be the "Sept 1823 payment listed in J A Bacon's account for $293.20 or $.40 a pound.
