Trying to pinpoint the opening and closing of a business, and especially its location, is not simple. One of the most practical methods to use in documenting commerce is via advertisements in the local newspaper. Although a newspaper has been published in Tappahannock since at least 1852, there are decades during which no issues survive. By using extant newspapers and many other source materials listed herein, the author has created an alphabetical list of business and artisan names and inserted sequential reference citations. With these entries one can assess during what minimum span of years a business operated - but still, the location of that business may be unknown. Keep in mind that these references represent a point in time where there is evidence of a business. References are not necessarily an exact chronology, as scant information was found about some businesses, while other businesses advertised weekly. And, who owned the building doesn't necessarily relate to who ran a business there.
