==============================================================
A few notes by Ben Franklin

bellmettle scillet = bell metal skillet

bofat = ( listed among furniture ) probably a "buffet"

Ceadre = cedar

Chears = chairs

Coulter Plow = a type of plow. 

Lining wheel = linen wheel ( as opposed to a "woolen wheel") 

piggin = A small wooden pail or tub with an upright stave for a handle, often used as a dipper.

tun =  a large cask holding 252 gallon, so a "tunlette" would be a small cask, usually meant for storing wine or oil.

Warring Cloths = wearing clothes

weiding = weeding
