Thank you for clarifying an issue that had been on my mind.
I did not recall that the document in question was Dennis Condry's own will; I had been under the impression it wasthe testament of someone else that Dennis had witnessed.It seems the ultimate way to resolve this would be to compare the copy of his instrument with others from the same county transcribed at the same time.If all the names bear a similar, squiggly circle, that would no doubt clinch it.Bottom line is I trust your interpretation.
If his signature was interpreted and transcribed as "Dennis Conry" or "Conree", I find it just as significant that the letter 'd' was omitted between the 'n' and the 'r', because it lends credence to the"intrusive 'd'" phenomenon I raised in my post in response to Gary's message.(It occurred to me that I need to make a list of all the creative ways our vexatious moniker can be spelled.So far my favorite is "Chooindry"!)
