    'Will inventoried 25 Jun 1678 at L9.8s.6d; proven 28 Jun 1678
    "The relict of Richard Richards, deceased, brought in an inventory of her husband's estate and was sworn 25:4m:1678, taken by Edward Flint and Richard Croade." From Probate Records of Essex County.'

    'ELIZABETH [child of John and Jane Reeves], born say 1642 presumably her husband's unnamed widow who swore to the accuracy of his inventory 28 4mo 1678 (Essex Probate 3:234); married Salem, MA 16 11mo 1660/1 (SVR 4:246) RICHARD RICHARDS, died Salem before 25 4mo 1687 when his inventory was taken (Essex Probate 3:233).'

    One of the dates for the inventory of his estate must be wrong (1678 vs. 1687). Another source indicates that 1678 is the correct year.
