Publisher's Synopsis
Abstracts of Dorset Inquisitiones Post Mortem: Returned into the Court of Chancery in the Reign of King Charles the First (1894) is a historical book written by Edward Alexander Fry. The book is a collection of abstracts of inquisitiones post mortem, which were legal documents created after the death of a landowner to determine the extent and value of their property. These documents were returned to the Court of Chancery during the reign of King Charles the First in the 17th century.The book focuses specifically on Dorset, a county in southwestern England, and provides a detailed look at the landowners and their estates in the area during this time period. The abstracts are organized by the name of the landowner and include information such as their date of death, the value of their property, and the names of their heirs.This book is a valuable resource for historians and genealogists interested in the history of Dorset and the families who owned land in the area during the reign of King Charles the First. The abstracts provide insight into the social and economic conditions of the time and offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived in Dorset during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
