Carneal, deceased, produced against Estate by Thos Carneal D., bill receipt for singing school submitted by Thomas Carneal D. 1849 and Final Settlement Papers dated 1852 for Flemming Carneal Estate reflect monies rec'd of Thomas Carneal... what does the letter D. following Thomas' name mean -is it significant in some way? It does not appear to be a first initial or middle initial. Also, Fleming died without a will and a statement dated 1851 states there are 4 heirs at this time..all heirs identified in the papers not including Thomas - would Thomas be entitled to be an heir (son) if there was no will was produced? Why would he pay for singing school and be reimbursed? Cindy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
