Thank you, Tom! The fun thing about compiling this history is all the side roads that beckon one to explore. Frendraught is nailed. Then I came across Universal Legatee and Googled it and spent happy hours trolling through some fascinating 18th century court cases... Well, for this old gal, it sure beats putting cash in slots at the casinos!
