2. Inventory: dated
Observations:
The inventory lists this spinsters debtors and only values her household stuff and implements at £1. It would seem from the items she left to various people in her will that they had all claimed their goods before the inventory was taken. As to the debtors, whilst a couple feature in the will she also mentions 4 others in the will with money '…which I have in hand from him…'.
Documents include a Bond; 4 sheets in all.
