As previously stated, there were two inventories for the Estate of Francis Mann. I will post them as time allows. In the interim, the first inventory amounted to approx. 67 pounds. The second inventory amounted to about 275 pounds. Page Mann eventually had his executorship take away from him and others appointed by the court completed the final settlement. That is where things get difficult. Looking over the Order Books there were about three entries concerning the estate. One, dated Oct 1789, records the final settlement. Problem is, it states the estate amount equal to the 1769 inventory of about 67 pounds. What happened to the money from the 1785 inventory of about 275 pounds??? Now let's not go off on a wild haired goose chase. Fact is, the final settlement directly relates in 1789 to the inventory and will of 1768! Twenty one years after it was made!! Does the second inventory confuse this? Or, rather, does it confirm that Page Mann tried to make off with Mary Mann's "thirds" after she died? Remember that Ben Kevill sued for over a hundred pounds. Questions abound to the difference to the remainder. Debt? Another (other) person(s) to share the estate with? I did note a person who sued Page in 1791 for fifty pounds. Did that concern part of the estate of Mary? Still, there is no doubt that what ever Lewis Akin knew about what was due to him rested in the second inventory. Page knew it as well. My belief is that Page was more than willing to settle with Ben Kevill because of repercussions from the court should it ever be found out what he did with the money from the second inventory!!
