Here is the inventory of Thomas Moorman’s estate, which was recorded January 27, 1767 in Bedford County, Virginia. He was my 6th great-grandfather. I was unsure how to transcribe the symbols and some of the strange abbreviations, so I have left them out for now. If you know how to put them in (or where to find them on the keyboard)and what they mean, I’d appreciate it. 🙂
