From dealer's description: "Kaye, Jonas, of Millshaw Hall, Yorkshire. A collection of receipts, bills, and notes from 1667-1724, the year following his death. It includes an early single page document relating to his coal mines in 1667, and rental receipts for the mines between 1688 and 1698. Jonas Kaye (died 1723), built a hall at Millshaw, and married, first Elizabeth Roberts (the widow of Oliver Roberts of Woldale) about the year 1699, who died two years later. He then married his servant, Olive Halley, by whom he had two surviving children, John and Esther. His daughter married John, son of Oswald Hall, of Hatfield Hall, near Wakefield. Her brother John Kaye came into possession of his lands in 1728 and abandoned Millshaw Hall in Kirkburton, disliking its bleak and inaccessible situation, and the building fell into decay. He then built Butterley Hall, in Fulstone." Ordered from Ken Spelman, D 9274, 2019-01-10, Cat. 102, item #1.
