Subject: Will Abstracts From: Joan or Gary Reich Date: April 08, 1998 Can anyone help me interpret some will abstracts from Old 96 and Abbeville Dists? Will Dated Dec 26, 1826 - the date it was written? Prov. Oct 26, 1827 - Is this proved? Does this mean the person died about this time? Inv. Made - is this an inventory of the deceased person's possessions? The following is confusing to me: Est admnr. Oct 22, 1823 by John, Sam'l Cothran, Charlotte Stevens, Geo. Marshall bound to Moses Taggart Ord. Abbeville Dist sum $9000.00. Cit. pub. at Rehobeth church. Sale Dec 30 1823. Byrs: Charlotte Stevens, John Kary, etc. Why would it take so many people to administer the will? What does "bound to" mean? Would Moses Taggart be the judge? I notice his name on quite a few wills in this manner. What is Ord.? This may be very clear to many of you out there but confusing to me. I hope someone will help me out by explaining these things to me. Thanks. Joan [email protected] Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
