Mary,

I know it is the wrong century but I believe you may want to examine 
"The Travels of Richard Truanter....." [1699] held (I am told) at the 
Library of VA.  I visited the library earlier this year and could not 
locate this manuscript.  Alexander Moore (628 Old Plantation Road, 
Charleston, SC 29413) has transcribed the manuscript and is working on a 
paper about it.  Having seen his transcript, I can attest that the 
document offers tremendous insight into trade in a particularly obscure 
moment.
