I'm still working on the estate of Robert Taylor Of Powhatan County.  
His 1826 estate lists bonds and bills. Can someone help me understand  
these items? Are the bonds money owed him? Are the bills money he owes  
or money due him? What does "order on Edward Baptist " mean? I have  
Smith's Estate Inventories How to Use Them, but he doesn't discuss  
financial records. Perhaps someone can suggest another reference book?

Thank you for your help.
