Henry Wood at Publick sale"), and Joshua Fry. Also included are accounts with "Messrs. Thomas Chamberlayne & Co," John Bisnell, College of William and Mary, Albemarle County, Doctor Thomas Walker, and others. More detailed accounts of Col. William Randolph's estate include lists of vouchers of payments made by Peter Jefferson, "An Account of Tobacco made at Col. Randolph's Quarters," "Overseers Accounts," and "Sundry payments made to the Sheriffs of Goochland & Cumberland on Account of Col. Randolph's Estate" (ff. 28v -- 32 v.).
