Documents

1. Bond: dated 25 January 1623 with bounden Rose Proiger of Roulston, widow and relict and David Jones of Llan......[missing] county Brecon in a surety of £60

 Date of Probate:  24 January 1623

2. Inventory: dated 12 May1623 and no value given but comes to £8  11  2d. Appraisers: John David ap John and Morgan Watkin, two of the neighbours.    .

 

 

Observations:

The probate date seems to be an error as it falls the day before the date of the Bond when usually the two dates are the same. The Inventory was taken 8 months before the bond, too,[Old calendar] probably because he died intestate.
4 sheets in all including the cover sheet
His inventory is reproduced below with modern spelling..
