Subject: Colonial Times Money Conversion to US Dollars From: Ronald Jaudon Berry Date: April 04, 1998 'Been following Steve Coker's great postings of SC Accounts. 'Saw where one of my (probable) relatives ( Roberts who married Jaudon women) submitted his bill for coroner inquest duties and was paid in English pounds. It seemed as if his pay was higher than that of the "town" butcher, who was paid more than the carpenter. (So the moral of the story is--stay in school, get an education, become a higher-paid professional). Or, is it that the two "cutters" got paid better than the hammerer 8) ? Seriously, does anyone have a conversion table or site for English pounds sterling to present day US dollars, i.e. adjusted for inflation ? How much did these guys make, in present-day terms ? I'd bet Mr. Coker knows. Doesn't he do a great job ! Thanks, Steve. Thanks all-be blessed and good-night. Don Ronald Jaudon Berry Jacksonville, Fl.
