I've done Page 7, 9, 11, 13. Just checking them. I've sent Craig page 3. I can't work out page 5 at all!! For future ref: After a quick look at the documents at http://www.crumpler-family.com/Crumpler2.pdf , it appears that pages 16 -19 contain the original of William Crumpleher's will of 1615. So we don't necessarily need a new transcription, but a comparison with the will already done.

Hi, Liz --- Thank you for the transcriptions of three of the pages of Mary Crumpler's inventory. (I'm not really sure what to actually call it --- suggestions welcome.) I've uploaded the three pages, have added your transcriptions, and have then grouped the three pages together into an album linked to Mary's page on our website. The album is located here: http://lordoflucies.com/tng/showalbum.php?albumID=8 If you then click on the links for any of the three pages, you'll see your transcriptions. As always, please let me know if there are any changes, alterations, updates, etc., and I will take care of them ASAP. Can I ask a "big picture" question? By modern standards, it seems quite strange to have such a formal will --- complete with Latin clauses and a small army of executors --- when the items being bequeathed seem so modest: working petticoats, dresses, etc. Before seeing these documents, I imagined that only a small percentage of the people alive in the late 1500's and early 1600's would have had a will. Was it common for folks of relatively modest means to have such elaborate wills? Or, by the standards of the day, were these ancestors quite prosperous? Thank you again for your assistance.
