Title: | Probate Collection; Bond and documents for Joseph Watkins, yeoman |
Place name: | Michaelchurch Escley |
Date: | 1712 |
Description:
Documents :
1. Bond dated
Bounden : Mary Watkins of Michaelchurch Eskley, widow and relict and William Exton of Michaelchurch Eskley gent in the sum of £200.
Appointing Mary Watkins administrator of her husband's estate.
2. Inventory: dated
Observations:
The inventory Comprises goods and livestock valued at £61 10 0d, which is correct, and debts owed which come to £73 10 0d again correctly totalled. However, when adding the two together the appraisers came up with a total of £196 10 0d when it should be
£135 0 0d [they seem to have added the goods and livestock total in twice, there is a repeated £61 just above the total line, and still got the total wrong]
