How it is shown: Complete frame (original, unaltered); no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.

Keep in mind: Transcribed (frames 766-782); a first reading was made. Confirmed: heading and the allowance in outline. Likely: the sums (a balance of 146-0-10 less 67-9-6 gives 78-11-4, which the arithmetic confirms). Only Nathaniel, John, Mary and Anne are present or accounted for individually; William, Jonathan, George and Hannah are named only in the heading.
