Private wealth of the inhabitants of three regions and of the Thirteen American Colonies as a whole, in 1774, estimated from a statistical sample of probate inventories and supplementary data, is the focus. The author's prior interest in consumption and levels of living led to these innovative estimates which supplement national wealth estimates for the United States in later centuries. Levels of wealth compared on a per capita basis with other t…

Estimating Wealth of the Living from a Probate Sample
Sample The publication of per capita wealth estimates for the thirteen colonies for 1774, based on probate inventories, a seemingly unlikely source, provides a much needed benchmark for measuring American economic growth. It arouses interest in possible replication for subsequent dates especially in the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century. This time period is critical for assessing the rate and kinds of changes in material welfare and econo…

Wealth Estimates for the New England Colonies about 1770
The purpose of my studies is to estimate the total and per capita wealth of the thirteen colonies in the early 1770's and something of its composition and distribution. The estimates for New England presented here add another building block to the accumulating evidence that a rather high level of living was reached in the American colonies at the close of over 150 years of economic development. They also show that wealth was unequally distributed…
