Hi, all, wow - it’s been a long time since I was on here - decades. Didn’t even know the list still existed. Yay!
So I have a “stump” question for you. In several 18th century wills, I’ve found the mention of “a pair of shilliards and pea”. Anybody have any idea what these are? I’ve Googled, and checked Johnson’s Dictionary. Nothing, other than a few more references but no definitions. Is this just a crass way of saying “you get nothing”?
Totally stumped,
Nancy
