I am going thru the 1780s court records right now. I am seeing a few names of wives. I thought I would try and share some of these names as I come across them (when the court records are readable!): October 1785: Page 50 [Faded and very difficult to read - laying off of a road] Widow Russell on Broad River Page 49 Ordered that letters of administration to Mary Cooper and James Holland on the goods & chattles, rights & credits of Isaac Cooper deceased. January 1786 Page 70: Ordered that a didemus & protestation issued to South Carolina on behalf of Abel Lewis, to take the deposition of Robert Harper, Margaret Harper his wife & William Boid Senr., & John Boid, William Boid Junr., & [unreadable] Harper Junr., all living on Fishing Creek South Carolina, York County.
