“Filename” is a unique shorthand designation for each inventory. The designation, a combination of the decedent’s name and the year in which the inventory was taken, ordered, or recorded, allows for easy recognition of an inventory. Following each Filename, in the following list, is the county and state (colony) source citation where the inventory was recorded.
Where there is one, the filename is linked to a pdf file of the inventory transcript.
