February 7, 1792: John's will left
everything to his wife, Minta, and on her death his estate was to be divided

pewter plates and a basin. [CC will RB1:40]
May 3, 1796: Minta bought for 100 pounds
another 100 acres on Cedar Creek. She sold this parcel to her son William, on
Nov. 29, 1800. (However, since this parcel was in her estate when she died in
1813, it can be assumed that William sold it back to her when he moved to
Ohio.) [CC deed H:228 & L:294]

her son Eli, daughter Susannah and an unknown boy and girl under 10.
