In fact I'm going to take advantage of a printed version of the inventory taken from "Specific Ancestral Lines of the Boaz, Paul, Welty & Fishel Families" by Adrienne Boaz.

From this inventory we can see that Peter II had amassed a respectable amount of worldly goods, including livestock, beds, other furniture and cooking utensils, tools, a gun with powder and bullets, and two bibles. But there's one item I particularly want to draw your attention to in the original:
Item an Indian servant that cost att first 04 -- 10 --- 0
This is the person referred to in this phrase of the codicil to Peter's will: "I give my Indian servant to my son Samuell after my wife's decease."
I've already covered the land in Old England left him by his father Peter I here.
Peter II's wife Mary survived him by about seven years, making her own will in 1686 which we'll look at next time.
