I would like to point out that all the items that there seems to be some
doubt of their value such as Kitchen Furniture, Iron bound cart, clock are
all manufactured and taxed goods. The iron on the cart wheels was an
imported and taxed item also iron wheels outlasted wood several hundred
times longer.

I am trying to read a 1812 will and am having trouble interpreting some of
the words.  Could anyone help me with interpretation?

1.    I think it says "kitchen fountain".  Would this be something of
value
that someone would leave in a will?
2.    Also, the word "Crap" seems to appear a few times.  (I don't think
it
is "crop").  Was this word used around 1812 in a manner other than the
slang
and vulgar way used today?
3.    Anyone ever hear of an "iron bound cart?"

Thanks!
