Inventory of Marlborough, 1771

[John Mercer’s widow, Ann Roy Mercer, died at Marlborough September 2, 1770. By the next spring, James Mercer was operating Marlborough as one of four plantations owned by him. The overseer was Thomas Oliver. At the end of May 1771 Oliver drew up a statement of the conditions of the plantations and made a detailed inventory. This document has been reproduced in facsimile in A Documentary History of American Industrial Society.[216]

The following excerpts consist of the inventory, as it applied to Marlborough only, and of Oliver’s statement at the end. The “return,” as he called it, covered the period from May 1 to May 31, 1771. The reference to advertising the “sale” is apparently concerned with one of the unsuccessful public sales of John Mercer’s personal property.]
