Inventory Sales of Walter ASHMORE, Jr. (06 Nov 1798)

Posted: 24 Aug 2015 11:02AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Ashmore, Fincher, Roper
In my prior post above "The Inventory of Walter ASHMORE, Jr. (26 Oct 1798)" I discussed the Inventory filed on 26 Oct 1798. In so doing, I overlooked the Inventory Sales schedule also filed by Jesse ROPER, Jr., reflecting inventory sold on 06 Nov 1798. This Inventory Sales List is given at Image 6 of the Mecklenburg probate file of Walter ASHMORE.

See: "North Carolina, Estate Files, 1663-1979," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-32012-10822-98... : accessed 24 August 2015), Mecklenburg County > A > Ashmore, Walter (1798) > image 6 of 7; State Archives, Raleigh.

This Inventory Sales list is a bit heavier on furniture than the Inventory. Here is a quick abstract of what was sold:

Jonathan FINCHER Junr. - 1 bed tick? 5 lbs feathers: $2.50
Jonathan FINCHER - 1 table & tray: $0.50
Jesse ROPER Jr. - 1 bell: $0.75
John ROPER - 1 Hammer: $0.25
Jesse ROPER - set Cups and cacers [saucers]: $1.30
Wm. LEWIS - 1 Chest: $2.00
Jesse ROPER - 1 bed & furniture: $42.50
Jesse ROPER - 1 mair: $55.00
Wm. FINCHER - 1 Mair: $60.00
Jonathan FINCHER Senr. - 1 Hors: $30.00

The 5 hogs are NOT mentioned.

As Susan noted, the purchasers are mostly ROPERs and FINCHERs. This seems to me to be some further evidence that Hannah might be a FINCHER, though it also might simply reflect that the ROPERs and FINCHERs are living in very close proximity.

In my view, the Inventory Sales list looks even MORE like Cleranah ASHMORE's legacies, which included ALL of the household furniture.

It sort of looks as though two of the horses were sold TWICE. That is, the Inventory represented that two horses had been previously sold for cash. These seem listed again in the Inventory Sales list.
