That's a list of everything that my great x 5 grandfather John owned in 1819 when applied for his Revolutionary War Pension.

A bee gum is just a bee hive, and a spider is a three legged cast iron skillet, in case you are wondering.

I found this list yesterday during my research on my family. It is the most stunning piece of family history that I've found.
