dated
28 June 1675 , value £12 5 0d. Appraisers Rowland Jenkins & Thomas Roberts both of Longtown.

 

 

Observations:

Documents include a separate coversheet, 3 sheets in all. It is difficult to see why, with such a small value inventory, it took almost a year from Inventory taking to probate. This is an interesting inventory in that the deceased's clothing was worth as much as 5 guineas and his horse £6, it also lists a sword and belt one of very few inventories mentioning weapons.
