- As the abstract prints them, the will was proved before it was dated, so one of the dates is wrong. Mark Chilton’s index of the will books gives the date as 2 June 1848 and the probate as August 1848. Check the will book to settle it.
Names and places are given as the abstract writes them, spelling and all. This record has not been checked against the will book.
