Here is the transcription of Andrew Job's Estate that Freida bought. Another well-written document that was easy to read. The signature of William Brown might have been unreadable had I not known he was there at that time. The signature of Samuel Little has a curly-q on the end and John Churchman almost printed his last name. Note that the inventory was supposedly taken only 4 days after his death.

1722 Nov. 13, The will of Andrew Job was probated in Chester County. It is now on file in Westchester, Pennsylvania:
