forfeited estate paperwork from 1715, with a bundle of rentals and tacks reassembled in the wrong order at some later point.
Forfeited estate paperwork tied to the Cromartie holdings, dated 1715. The bundle had been reassembled in the wrong order at some point in the nineteenth century, with the rentals and tacks split across two different folders. Worked through slowly to restore a probable original sequence based on folds, ink and pin holes.
