Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual
wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written
by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented
them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at
the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were
in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The
originals were kept by the executor. We who have typed these wills,
have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm,
in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they
may be. |
