Sale of Thomas Viverette's Estate

Provided by Monsignor Owen Campion
Apparently North Carolina used the British system of currency. It was still in effect when I first visited Britain thirty years ago. The figure on the left is a pound. The middle is a shilling, of which 20 were in a pound. The figure on the right is a penny or pence, of which 12 were in a shilling.
