            1868 Vol.2, Pg.503-505: (no date), to Orphans Court for Philadelphia Co., report by auditor appointed to settle and adjust the account of Charles J. Pancoast, admin. of estate of Elizabeth Duncan decd, and to report? distribution of the balance in the hands of the administrator, reports: after publication in the newspapers, he proceeded to discharge of his duties at the time & place in the notice; the accountant asked to be surcharged with $100, being the yearly annuity due the estate which has been received by him since the filing of his account, and this amount less the commissions of 5% which is entitled to charge against it is accordingly added to the debit side of the account; a certified copy of the accounts was presented ... no creditors of the deceased appeared; several witnesses were produced as to the domicile of the decedent at the time of her death, her family connections, and the date of her decease; it appeared in evidence that Elizabeth Duncan the decedent died about 20 years since in the City of New Orleans, Louisanna, when she was then domicilled, leaving her surviving neither husband or children, and that the only estate left by her consisted of an annuity settled upon her under the provisions of the will of her uncle John Myers for and during all the term of the natural life of Katharine Myers wife of said John Myers, which will was duly registered in Bucks Co. PA on 10 August 1844. It also appeared that said decedent left surviving her the following named brother and sisters of the whole blood, being children of the same father and mother, to wit: Thomas Hale, Louisa Hayne, Eveline Hale, Caroline Carson, Mary E. Stelwagen and Emily McEiven Breck, being six in number; that Mary E. Stelwagen has since deceased and admin. has been granted her husband H.G. Stelwagen; also that Elizabeth Duncan left surviving her the following brother, sister and children of her deceased brother & sister of the half blood, having the same father as the proceeding six but a different mother: Warwick C. Hale, Allan Hains a minor child of Almy S. Harris a decd. sister of the half blood, Augusta C. Robinet, Mary E. Hale a minor child of James C. Hale a decd. brother of the half blood, and Kate Myers Stacker, being five in number. The auditor is of the opinion that the fund in the hands of the accountant should be distributed among the brothers and sisters and the children of such as are deceased in accord with the laws of the State of Louisianna in which the decedent was domiciled at the time of her death; these laws require that 1/2 the funds should first be divided equally between the brothers and sisters of the whole blood and the remaining half should then be divided equally between all the brothers and sisters including those of the whole blood and those of the half blood, and in accord with this, they were distributed as follows: Eveline Hale $59.509-1/66; Louisa Hayne (same), Caroline Carson (same), Thomas Hale Jr. (same), H.S. Stelwagner admr. of Mary E. Stelwagner (same), Emily McEiven Beck $56.509-1/66 (no explanation why she received $3 less); Allan Harris minor child of Almy S. Harris $21.003-2/11, Augusta C. Robinett (same), Warwick C. Hale (same), Mary E. Hale minor child of Jas. C. Hale (same), Kate Myers Stocker (same). /s/ H.B. Warriner, auditor.
