Inventory of William Burroppe, carpenter, 1694

This is a transcript of the inventory of William Burroppe taken on 22 June 1694. Although he is described as a carpenter in the heading, there is no reference to carpentry tools in his inventory. He was obviously a successful farmer as well. The inventory, with a total value of £184 19s, includes 40 acres of pulse, 140 sheep, 10 cows, 10 heifers and yearlings and eight bullocks and oxen.
