The record of the estate of Thomas Kincaid, Ohio, 1838.
I just love the beautiful penmanship they had then. Thanks for sharing this. People don’t realize how valuable textiles was in the 19th century and would be listed in wills and estates for taxes.
I love the penmanship too. I have printed out some of the records, just to use that beautiful writing in art journals.
