Scope & content

This collection contains two items. The first is a legal bond between James Browne and Toleration Harris, his uncle, dated 1726. Toleration Harris is bonded to act on behalf of Mary Browne, wife of James, in the settlement of the estate of Andrew Harris, Mary’s brother. The second item is a small handsewn book, containing a handwritten sermon titled "The Description of Truth and Error." It is undated and incomplete, although it is thought to date from 1731.
