The daily entries contain details of the Batchelor's voyage, including wind measurements, soundings, and sightings of land, and are particularly full for February and March of 1670, the period when the Batchelor lost contact during violent weather with its sister vessel the Sweepstakes, commanded by Sir John Narborough, and began its solo journey back to England.

Ripon, England documents, 1636-1770.

Title: Ripon, England documents, 1636-1770.

The Ripon, England Documents (1636-1770) include a total of 23 documents that convey legal transactions such as indentures, deeds, marriage settlements, wills, and mortgages from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Ripon, England. Many of the documents include wax seals and tax postage stamps; however the earlier documents are without postage stamps. Many of the documents are handwritten on parchment while only one is written on paper. There is at least one document from the reign of each English monarch during this time period. Two of the documents are written in Latin; the one dated 1636 is in both English and Latin, while the rest are written in English. Only one document uses a printed form in which the persons, date, etc. are written in. The greater part of the documents are indentures, frequently of the "bargain and sale" type. There are several mortgages, one marriage settlement, a will, and an apppointment of a minor official. This latter document is rather interesting: the appointment of the under steward of the Courts of Leets and Barron, by William Grosvenor, Land Steward for the Duke of Devonshire in 1710. Another document of interest was signed and sealed by William Ward, "Commissary of the Exchequor Court" of the Lord Archbishop of York, and gives the widow of a man who died intestate the administrative rights to his goods, chattels, and "cattels", etc. This occured in 1740 and women's rights to property bore no similarity to those they hold today.
