The will of Cornelius Edmonds, deceased, was submitted for probate by his widow, Anne Edmonds, who entered into bond for the same with John Pratt, her security. His inventory was recorded in I#1, Page 21-23, and it is oftentimes interesting to note the names of the indentured white servants, the remaining time they had to serve and the value placed thereon. We note in his inventory Cornelius Edmonds had as servants Agnes Boughan (maid), Alexander Casson (a man) and David Carney (a boy).
