Undated and unsigned, but appear to be the accounts of John Blackett acting as executor of his father Sir Edward’s will. The third schedule suggests that proceedings had been brought against John by some of his siblings over the distribution of Sir Edward’s assets. The latest date given within the accounts is 11th May 1723. The accounts could have been several months later, though presumably before March 1724, otherwise the rental income accounts are likely to have been updated to that date instead. For convenience 1st June 1723 is used here.
