Description

Richd. How II (Aspley) to J. Eliot. Wm Tibey's will was requited for selling H. Marshall's East India Stock. - Thinks the Pennsylvania land will be allotted in the back settlements & so be [liable] to the depredations of the Indians A therefore likely to produce but low price for purchasers may not readily offer through the apprehension of being scalped. - Has searched his father's books & papers and found Thos. Farmborough junior's cashbook from 1711 to 14 Sept. 1723, about a fortnight after which date he died, at one end of which is a statement of the effects of his father Thos. Farmborough who died 18 May 1720: copy of receipt by Mariabella Briggins of £6852.9.10, "which I believe to be the full moiety of the estate of my deceased father" .... no mention of Pennsylvania property, nor in Thos. F. jun's will - Notes of mentions of receipts for Old Pennsylvania Stock in 1734. Suggests that Thos. F. was one of the purchasers of 220 shares in Pennsylvania in 1699. These shares were transferred to new trustees in 1722, after the death of Thos. F. senior, so it appears he had no part in the transfer or the division into 8800 shares ....
