Reading note: Hogg described a trust to Kinchin, Rochester and himself before Munroe left Hillsbo’. The compiler questioned merely in the description of the children’s benefit. Separate suits share this testimony. Continued on PDF 120: Munroe returned, became a citizen and reclaimed other articles; Hogg maintained the children and claimed resultant debt. Household articles belonged to the children; listed books were condemned for the plaintiff. Monroe and Munroe spellings both appear.
