I've been reading the diary of Thomas Minor,a Massachusetts farmer
1653-1684. On at least four occassions he mentions branding a horse
and, Eare marking with a Halpeny,sometimes halpenie, on the foreside
of each Eare.Once, he states,"he have a halpenie cut on the
ffore side of each Eare".Anybody know he is referring to? He's
definately talking about a halfpenny because in his accounts he uses
the same term.
