- Note
- The abstract dates the will 25 June 1829 and its probate May 1829, which cannot both be right. A May 1829 deed conveyed fourteen people from John Umstead's estate, among them a Dicey (record d1086); a shared first name does not show it was the same woman.

Records on the same deed-book page, or that refer to one another, or a will and a later record that may concern the same person (a shared first name alone does not show that). Some are copies of the same document recorded twice.
