Testator owed several debts, but only the materials he owed were listed, not to whom. The real value of the inventory is the list of men (and a few women) who apparently owed debts to the testator, because it reads like a virtual head of household census for the area in 1645.

GREGORY, Samuel - of Crich.
Much of this is in latin, and that which is in English is difficult to read, but what is obviously apparent is:
Died intestate. Probate was granted on 9 Apr 1728 to his widow Mary ORME als GREGORY, who was by then married to John ORME, Agricolum (farmer). Two further people were mentioned in the administration. The first was something like [Willm WALEREY] of Youlgreave, Miner, and the second is unreadable except for being a framework knitter.
Inventory: undated (£170-7-0) was taken by Anthony WOOD,   & John ASTON.
