Observations:
Number of documents 7, including 2 pages of Will. Unusually, the inventory lists "a Quantity of books", as well as a gun and 2 spinning wheels. The wide gap between the date of the inventory and the granting of probate was because the widow was not aware that the latter was necessary "until recently informed to the contrary". She had by this time remarried and become Jane George, and his son, John was living at Goytre in Llancillo.
