The entry below that I submitted is an actual transcription from the book. There is no other info. 1. It appears that the will was proven Oct. 11, 1831. That's the only date on the entry. 2. There are no other Shoulders/Sholar entries in the index except the two I mention below. 3. See #2. 4. I don't know where the originals or copies of these wills would be located. List?? Can you provide the answer where to obtain the wills?

This is some help to us who are researching the Shoulders (Sholar) lineages. Of special interest in your posting is that you found Page 54 Robert W. BLEDSOE will - Daughter Polly Ann Shoulders, Clarissa and Mildred. I have from other sources that The LDI records list Polly Ann Shoulders as the daughter of ABRHAM BLEDSOE and MILDRED AMELIA "MELLY" WEATHERRED. I would expect that this will would be sustantial proof otherwise. I have four questions: 1. When was the Robert W. BLEDSOE will proved? 2. Looking for SOLOMON SHOULDERS(SHOLAR), b. 1780; d. ca. 1855; His will was proven July 1855. Is his will in that will book? 3. Looking for WILLIAM SHOULDERS(SHOLAR) 4. Any way we can get transcriptions of these wills? -----Original Message----- From: ruthrawls [mailto:ruthrawls@islc.net] Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2007 12:05 AM To: Sholar, James Cc: TNSUMNER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: SHOULDERS - Look-ups for Will Books (1788-1842) Page 54 Robert W. BLEDSOE will - Daughter Polly Ann Shoulders, Clarissa and Mildred. Nephew Abraham son of David L. Bledsoe Brother James W. Bledsoe. Brother Anthony T. Bledsoe. Brother David L. Bledsoe. Oct. 11, 1831. The index shows another reference to "Shoulders" on page 65, but I cannot find the name on that page. Perhaps a typo. I'll keep looking.
