Archive Reference / Library Class No.	D8043
Title	Thomas Harrison of Penistone, South Yorkshire
Date	1750-1827
Description	Executor's Account Book, covering the period immediately following Harrison's death in September 1750 up until 1768, and reference is made to various Derbyshire locations (Hope, Castleton, Glossop, Loosehill, Alport and Chapel [-en-le-Frith]), as well as "Penniston" and "Middop". The entries record the sale of Harrison's goods and chattels in the two weeks following his death; thereafter tenants' names and rentals paid are recorded, as are payments made on Harrison's account. The latter appear to be payments of interest and legacies made to various individuals, as part of a Trust Estate (presumably set up by Harrison). Joseph Ibbotson and John Greaves are the executors of Thomas Harrison. At the end of the book are the executor's and other accounts for a Richard Gould of Hope in Derbyshire, 1822-1827.
