The books owned by John Minor of Fairfax County, Virginia are documented in the probate inventory of his estate, ordered 18 July 1753, taken 2 August 1753, and recorded 9 September 1753. The books, located "In Mrs. Minor's Room," are valued at £1/13/6 out of a total estate valued at £372/7/8 and a halfpenny. Given the presence of a surveying text and a set of surveyor's tools in the inventory, it is likely that Minor worked as a surveyor.
