of full age & of sound mind and memory &
not under any restraint.
It is ordered that said ^will^ & the proof so reduced
to writing be recorded. And thereupon on motion
of Nat Brown & Cyrus Haywood the Executors in
said Will named It is ordered that letters testa
mentory be granted to the said Nathaniel Brown

dower in the land &c of said Daniel Lefever
and makes her Election to take by the Will of her decd

[572]
note: the "339" penned into the left-hand margin refers to the 'Will Book' entry where the Will itself was recorded.
Daniel & wife Sarah are both buried in the Knoop Graveyard southeast of Troy. Sarah only lived a year or two after Daniel's passing.
Point here being that there are usually many other records beyond just the Wills that should be sought out because of the additional information waiting to be re-discovered.
