In English.

Henry Seymour (1764-1846) was a merchant, attorney, and major of the Governor's Horse Guards of Connecticut. Seymour was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the son of the town's first mayor, Thomas Seymour (1735-1829), and Mary Ledyard Seymour (1735-1807).

Henry Allyn Warner (1768-1813) was a skin dresser, preparing animal skins for use in clothing and footwear, who operated a shop in Hartford, Connecticut. Warner was the son of Eli Warner (approximately 1723-1813) and Azuba Allyn Warner (1731-1774), and the husband of Elizabeth Ostrander Warner. Warner died on 1813 January 14, in the same month as his father.

Two small manuscript account books, likely in the hand of Henry Seymour, containing inventories of the estate of Henry Allyn Warner following his death in 1813.

One volume (12 pages, some blank) contains an inventory of Warner's real estate; an account of his financial assets; an account of the money belonging to his father Eli Warner's heirs signed by Henry Seymour and Seth Whiting; and an inventory of items in Warner's shop, including sheep and deer skins, horse hides, and tools.

The other volume (16 pages) contains an inventory of household furniture and goods, listed for each room of Warner's house, and of clothing belonging to Warner. Also includes a list of debtors to the estate.
