that cataloged and analyzed the various types of wealth that existed
in the American colonies in 1774, just before the Revolution. Data
about 919 decedents having resided in 21 colonial counties in both
rural and urban settings were collected from county probate records in
the New England colonies, the Middle Colonies, New York, and the
South. WEALTH OF A NATION TO BE: THE AMERICAN COLONIES ON THE EVE OF
THE REVOLUTION (see Related Literature associated with this study) discusses the entire
project, providing tables, graphs, summaries, and
conclusions. AMERICAN COLONIAL WEALTH, DOCUMENTS AND METHODS includes
