Gene: Another matter re. the Wiseman will I would appreciate your thoughts on is why the name is spelled "Carpenter" in the inventory, but then later rendered "Capendor", or such, by Pearson and then formalized as such in the final will copy? Obviously "Capendor" was the manner in which "Carpenter" was pronounced and was the way Pearson usually heard it. Why would the individual who penned the inventory write the name in a careful and correct manner? One explaination would be "Carpenter" penned the inventory. Bruce
