Thank you, Eric, and all!! That is likely the answer. Steelyards and pea…… The dangers of using transcripts and not going blind(er) trying to read the original old handwriting. I can only guess why a daughter received that as an inheritance, considering she wasn’t married at the time. Hmmm…..

Made my day! Thanks to everyone who ventured to help.
