I am going back and looking at some documents, and one of them is a Quaker will, which disproves the "rule" about "In the name of God, amen." The will starts with that phrase and then goes on to say "The 20th day of the 2nd month in the year of Christian _____ 1713..." The will was by a wealthy merchant who was a member of a Quaker family in early Philadelphia. I am trying to figure out what the word after "Christian" is. It looks like "atoinpt" but could be "atompt". The "t" doesn't look like an old-fashioned court "s," but it's a little unlike the other "s" and "t" letters in the rest of the document, perhaps because it's under the beginning phrase written in capital letters, and it may be compacted a bit because of that. I am wondering if it's an abbreviated "atonement." but it doesn't look like there's an "e" after the "n" or "m". Is there a familiar or known phrase in old Quaker or court documents that would help me decipher this word? If someone wants me to email the cropped image to them, I can do that. I don't think I can attach files to emails which go through this list. *Katherine Benbow *
