Dick, Thank you very much for your help. Yes, I will post the pages. Since I have found so many mistakes in books I like to check original records on microfilm in the Family History Library in Salt Lake. Some people may not know when they look at will or estate records in a ledger book they are not considered original. Originals are found in Probate packets and are folded so you can tell when you see a photocopy that someone states is a original, if you do not see where it has been folded then it is a ledger book copy.
The following is from a Ledger book copy and where I am not sure of the wording I will place a question mark. The amounts are also very hard to transcribe. I will not list all amounts
