Observations:

It is interesting to note that the items in Charles Hunt's Inventory accurately match those in the legacy to Hannah Hunt, and since he states in the will that he is leaving her his second best bed why is the best bed not on the inventory? His business can be traced through three generations, through Thomas Harris [BR/1786/16 or mfs_lon_0179] to Henry Harris in the 19th century.
