    1. who does inventories and witnesses wills?
    2. Hi all I am stumped on a surname for a female line. All I have is a will and inventory for an old (her description) widow from 1805. Her only surviving son is the executor; don't know if there were any daughters. Who or what relation might witnesses to the will be, and who might have done the inventory? The names are not on the list of baptismal sponsors for her grandchildren. One appears to be a neighbour, another was also a justice of the peace. The other two also lived in the same township (Whitehall - Lehigh Co). What have you folks found - friends or family? My limited info for inventories I am sure of point to brother-in-law and neighbours. Of course, often neighbours are family, but in that instance, nothing obvious has shown up (yet). Thanks for your suggestions Heidi from Sugar Land TX
