Bancker, Christopher, ca. 1699-1763. Appraisals, 1750-1762.

Title: Appraisals, 1750-1762.

This manuscript records the appraised inventories of various estates and ships taken by Christopher Bancker, Brandt Schuyler, and Joris Brinckerhoff in New York, between 1750-1762. Entries record the quantity, description, and value of items in English pounds. Appraisals of ships included valuation of the vessel's equipment such as masts, sails, cables, etc., as well as its cargo. In several instances, the cargo was damaged. The majority of entries are for the appraisal of deceased merchants' estates, particularly in cases of escheats where there were no heirs. Such names as Thomas Hysham, John Moore, Francis Thurman, and Anthony Rutgers appear on the list of appraised estates. With the exception of several appraisals of business inventories, such as that of cloth merchant, Thomas Hysham, the majority of the valuated items are household goods and personal belongings. Numerous entries for silver, clothing, china, fabrics, furniture, slaves, farm animals, and pots and pans were recorded. Among the more eclectic items mentioned are a tortoise shell watch, a set of gold weights, a single pocket pistol, and a quilting frame.
