I can not help but believe that the word "Fiels" is a corruption or misinterpretation of the letters written in the original document. A bed usually was listed with what went with it - the "furniture"; in this case there was a "cover" which means the thin-in-summer, thick-in-winter bonnet or top that stretched between the 4 posts and served above the bed and side curtains to keep bugs out in summer and heat in during winters. Because a cover was included, almost surely it was a 4 poster bed, however what word has been thought to be "fiels" is not known to me. I am with Margaret about the walnut table; hard to imagine that in those times walnut was a very coomon wood and was EVERYWHERE. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jleehunt1@aol.com> > "To 1 old Fiels Bedstead and > cover 7/6"
