This is the appraisment of the estate of Silas Moorman, dated 31 March 1777. He was my first cousin, 7 times removed.
I have left out the worth of the items, simply because it’s hard for me to write them here.
Unfortunately, it is only the first half of his appraisal. I actually was making a copy of the document on the previous page, which continued onto this one (I was in a REAL time crunch since I had 5 kids and a tired husband waiting in the car for me while I was making copies in the courthouse). So here, is half of the appraisal. 🙁
