Re: What is an Earling
In Response To: Re: What is an Earling ()

From the Will of William Corkill 1820, no name of wife mentioned
Item I bequeath to Jane Corkill an Earling
Item I bequeath to my Grandson Ewan an Earling
Item I bequeath to my Daughter Ann Corkill a Quart of Wool
Item I bequeath to my Granddaughters Margaret and Ester Creer a sheep apiece
I thought that an Earling might be a sheep, could it be a young cow?
