Plymouth Colony Archive

As discussed in class and as stated on the class web site, select one individual's probate from the many listed  on the Plymouth Colony Archive, and write your interpretations of the individual on the blog. Base it on what you learned from Barbara Clark Smith's talk. Is the person rich/poor? Educated? Religious? What was his profession? How can you tell? What else comes out of the person's inventory that tells you who this person was?

Hey Jeff! How is your week going? Well I wanted to do my assignment today but I can't find the listening part (Barbara Clark Smith's analyzes on Inventory..
Would you please guide me on how to find the listening?

Thank you, Olivier Ble

Me neither, it seems complicated, and most of the items in inventories are unfamiliar for me.

I couldn't fine the listening or reading portion of Mrs. Smith's analysis either. Based on what I remember from last week's class. I have come to the conclusion that William Serjeant wasn't a religious as there are no Bibles or other religious artifacts listed. From the livestock listed I believe that Mr. Serjeant was a farmer of modest means.It doesn't appear that he had a lot of money. He probably hunted for meat since he owned rifles.

I kind of have a little problem understanding how the inventory talks about , but i learned knew from George Hall's inventory that he is a political leader who deals with legal problems. According to the inventory George Hall could be Rich and educated. Also as said a lot in his inventory as"tooles " tells me his profession is biulding his own court system.

When i was doing the 2 discussion topic i kind of faced an issue in relating things we learned in class with stuff on the book. I was wondering if any one else had that issue if so how do not read the hole chapter twice in the book just to find stuff we went through in class?:)
