While the subject of Mallow is about, does anyone know the cause of Michael Mallow's death? Does anyone know Legal talk and can translate this? In Chalkey's Chronicles: NOVEMBER 21, 1772. (463) Michael Mallo vs. Valentine Maleer.--Abates by plaintiff's eath ---does this mean he was killed or killed someone? According to Allegheny Passage by Emmert Binttinger pg 123 "Michael may have been a fairly youthful man at the time of his death, because two of his children, Michael and Barbara were bound over on May 20 1777 to John Bright and to Jacob Havener respectively." ---does anyone know any more details about these childen or why they were bound over? Also pg 122 "wife Mary was unable to administer her husband's estate" ---- Chalkey's says "refused to administer" does anyone know the reason why? Can anyone shed a lettle more light on the life and death of Michael Mallow? Elaine
