Isaac OVERHOLT of Louth Twp, Lincoln Co., ON

I went back to my old files on paper and came up with the following:
My extract of Isaac's will includes how he apportioned his estate:Ann 1/6, Catharine 1/6, Joseph 1/8, Mary 1/8, Elizabeth 1/8, Barbara 1/12, Sarah 1/12.If you add this all up it comes to 7/8.This raises the question of whether he did the math and intended to give John's heirs 1/8 but for some reason they are not mentioned, or was this saved back to pay George Alexander Ball, Esq. for his maintenance?Interestingly George Ball was considered the richest man in Niagara.
Another sheet I have includes John but not Elizabeth among Isaac's children.Elizabeth might have been omitted because she lived in Maryland whereas the others lived in Ontario.It indicates that the source was Michael Overholt born 8/4/1807 the son of John.The surnames of two of the husbands of the girls are listed as Black rather than Swartz [the English translation].
