Louisa, an ancestor of mine, was the daughter of Ephraim. I love the enumeration of goods, so different from what we would claim as assets today. Wish I could get the loom and spinning wheel for only $2.00. I would guess they were getting away from spinning and weaving at home at this point in time. 1873.
