    1. Archaic word definitions help please
    2. Cap'n John
    3. Hello all, Came across these terms in a list of items purchased by one of my ancestors in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1768. He was German, married with a family, a brickmaker & building contractor by trade, and had indentured servants if that helps! Handwriting was reasonably legible, so how I've typed them here is what was on the list: "minikins" "linen chuke" Thanks & regards, Cap'n John
