Friday May 16th. Still Cool and Windy—my People yet continuing at Muddy hole. My Brother Jno. left this and I got Nations Estate Appraisd by Messrs. McCarty Barry & Triplet—as follows viz.
One old Gun & lock | 7.6 | ||||
1 Small Bell | 2.6 | ||||
|
10 | ||||
A Small parcel of Lea[the]r | 1 |
Nations’s estate still owed GW £1 11s. 1d., but GW wrote off that balance as “given to his Widow” (
, folio 69). Barry is probably John Barry (d. 1775), the clerk of Pohick Church, an original trustee of the town of Colchester, and a neighbor of Daniel McCarty.
