Moses Milliken's year of death proven

I just stumbled across this today:

Probate Records of South Carolina vol 3 Journal of the Court of Ordinary 1764-1771 Brent H Holcomb

p 42
Citation Granted to Wm Hull of Prince George Parish to administer on the Estate & Effects of Mons [sic] Milligan, as Greatest Creditor, of said Parish, to be Published & Returned Certify'd. 21st July 1767.

The name Moses must have been misread as Mons when this was transcribed. I have other records that prove Moses died after 1763, but before 1774 when George Evans, James Coachman, John Postell, and James Calhoun, the executors of William Hull, were granted a judgment against "Benjamin Milligen, survivor of Moses Milligen." Moses Milliken had a proven son named Benjamin.

See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fcharper/MaryMurrell.html for the complete records and a scan of Moses' signature on one of them. I will be updating this page to reflect this newly-found record soon.

The name William Hull in both records is surely a match - plus the reference to creditor. So Moses must have died shortly before this record some time in 1767.
