Sources and Notes:
Electronic copies of the originals of Robert's 2-page Will, Will Inventory, and Will Dispersal documents can be found in Will Book A available on CD for purchase online at the Cumberland County Genealogical Society website.
I recently ran across an interesting article on the internet, Eighteenth Century Immigrants to Nova Scotia: The Yorkshire Settlers, that included Robert Ripley's will in an analysis of artifacts of everyday life and what they show us about the 18th century settlers of Cumberland County. The author cited the large inventory of livestock and Robert's 1/4 share in a stallion as evidence of animal breeding activity in Cumberland County.
