Hi Joann, You are absolutely correct on #39 - it is the probate papers for Johnson Rudd, dated 1818. The copies are pretty poor and I misread the old handwriting. Thanks! Celia I have a question on #39. >Are the probate papers for Solomon Rudd or are they for Johnson Rudd? I >know Barak was the administrator for Johnson Rudd, but I don't know who >Solomon Rudd might be. Or is it a different Barak Rudd? I think I sent >you my transcription of Johnson's estate so perhaps you could compare >#39 with that. If it is someone other than Johnson, I would also like a >copy of #39.
