  • Frequency: Weekly
  • Lineage ID: 110
  • Proprietors: John Pinkney
  • Start Date: April 6, 1775

  • Notes: Effective April, 1, 1775, Pinkney acquired the Rind family's press and newspaper from the estate of Clementina Rind; he continued as the journal's sole proprietor for remainder of its existence. During the first month of his tenure, Pinkney reduced the size of his page-sheet, apparently in response to limited supplies of properly-sized paper, although he did issue supplements with those issues that made up the loss of content-space per page.
