Very few utensiles were available for cooking. In some households the most expensive objects were the pots and kettles. The only items for cooking owned by Esther Gunn in 1763 were an iron skillet and two iron pots, [Berkshire county Probate Records, Daniel Gunn Jr. inventory 772.]

"The wills that accompanied the inventories showed a well-defined pattern of estate distribution. Land almost always went to sons; household goods were bequeathed to daughters; a lifetime support went to widows, at least until they remarried." [Miller, James R. "Early Life in Sheffield" p 67.]

  3. ↑ 12 November may have been the date of baptism. This probably occurred in the northern part of Sheffield, now Great Barrington, where her parents resided. One IGI record suggests Esther was born in Westfield, but that seems unlikely since all her siblings were also born in Sheffield.
