Thanks Jon.

I am also wondering how, in general, the lines "things unseen and forgotten" were calculated in these inventories. I have seen several and it does not appear to be a percontage.

Just a minor point, I hope you don't mind  :)

In several places such as
 
In the Porch Clofett three window curtains and Vallance
Impris his wearing apparell and his money in his purfe
In the maids Chamber one old Cheft and two Boxes

you have put a letter 'f', the letter in question is actually a 'long s' and should be transcribed as 's' not 'f'.
