2. Inventory dated 4 December 1678 , value £49 0 7d. Appraisers John Thomas, Thomas David and Thomas Watkins

Observations:

Documents include a bond with Bounden, Siblel Beavan widow of St Margarets and Thomas Watkins of Dore in the sum of £100. Administration granted to Sible. Also a coversheet; 5 sheets in all.
The dates are difficult to unravel since the will was made at the end of October 1678 and according to the preamble of the inventory Richard Beavor died on 9 November the same year but the will seems not to have been submitted for probate until a year later.
