I found information for Handel, Handle, Keithley, Keithly, Sale and Sales. See example below. Will Book B, 1863 - 1875 SALE, Thomas, of the Town of Guilford, dated November 5, 1869, proved March 25, 1872. To my wife Mary SALE, all my estate. Executrix: my wife Mary SALE. Witnesses: Geo. S. AVERY, William AVERY (Page 383) I don't know if any of these are a match for you but I wanted you to know that we will help you if we can. All you have to do is ask. Good luck in your search!
