52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 48: ISAAC LEARNED OF CHELMSFORD, MA. PT2

As I said in my earlier post about Isaac Learned, I found his probate file over on AmericanAncestors.org: 

cMiddlesex County, MA: Probate File Papers, 1648-1871.Online database. AmericanAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014. (From records supplied by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Archives.) 13855:1

Unfortunately, it's only the inventory of his estate and it's a little difficult to read. I did a Google
search to see if I could find a transcription of it and found one in a Learned family genealogy on
Googlebooks. For some reason part of the inventory is an image so I've placed it where it falls
in the text: 

His inventory, dated Dec. 7, 1657, amounted to £187 18s 6d. April 6, 1658, administration was granted to widow Mary and her father, Isaac Sternes. Estate was indebted to Widow Learnett £3 per annum during widowhood.

Isaac Learned's father in law Isaac Stearns is mentioned several times in that estate settlement, and
I'll discuss him next.
