Scope and Contents
Scope and Contents Went through his father's papers, and found the debt from "Uncle Galt" was £471.15.8, due in 1785. The money was lent when he was in "embarrassed circumstances." When $20,000 or $30,000 could have been obtained for the Tavern, Lambert's father advised a sale, but "Aunt Galt" did not take the advice. Lambert's sisters, Eliza and Sally, "are now in the situation Uncle Galt's children were when my Father befriended them and would thankfully receive from his descendants any sum they may think reasonable-- taking into consideration the reduced price of the Property." L [copy] [Note: William Lambert's father was David Lambert of Richmond, who married Sarah Ege. Uncle Galt is probably Gabriel Galt (1748-1788) who married Sarah Ege's sister Elizabeth. Gabriel Galt was Dr. John Williamson's grand-father.]
