Colonial Virginia tobacco shipping records and 17th-19th-century trade manifests routinely quoted hogsheads. 1 hhd = 63 US gal ≈ 238.5 L.
About Cups
A cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp ≈ 236.6 mL - the fundamental unit of American cooking. Almost every US recipe uses cups for dry and liquid ingredients. The US customary cup (236.588 mL) differs from the US legal cup (240 mL, used in nutrition labelling) and the metric cup (Australia/Canada: 250 mL). Kitchen sets come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes. 2 cups = 1 US pint.
