Poser 291 - Accounts of Abercorn kirk session, 1701
This poser is a passage from the poor fund accounts of Abercorn kirk session, 1701 (National Records of Scotland, CH2/835/9 page 3).
The clerk was consistent in the way he formed his letters and his hand is a fairly typical example of the early eighteenth century. Watch out especially for abbreviations, numerals and interference.
