Also included are a family genealogy listing his children and slaves, and some poetry dated 1753 that appears in a different hand. The remainder of the volume was used to record the inventory of belongings of both Mary Coolidge and Trowbridge's daughter, Huldah, upon their marriages. Textile items mentioned in the inventories include bedspreads, bolsters, pillows, coverlids, quilts, blankets, curtains, cotton and linen sheets, and napkins. Various pots and pans, pewter platters, and a variety of furniture are also mentioned.
