None of you have explained why you think these illegitimate descents
have any particular Genealogical Value.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do
nothing." -- Attributed to Edmund Burke [1729-1797]

Warriors ---- "There is much tradition and mystique in the bequest of
personal weapons to a surviving comrade in arms. It has to do with a
continuation of values past individual mortality. People living in a
time made safe for them by others may find this difficult to understand.

The box John Brigham's guns came in was a gift in itself. He must have
bought it in the Orient when he was a Marine. A mahogany box with the
lid inlaid in mother of pearl. The weapons were pure Brigham, well
worn, well maintained and immaculately clean. An M1911A1 Colt .45
pistol, and a Safari Arms cut-down version of the .45 for concealed
carry, a boot dagger with one serrated edge. Starling had her own
leather." _Hannibal_, Thomas Harris, Delacorte Press, [1999], p. 397.

| Do you understand the difference as we have explained it between
executors and
| administrators? They were administering her estate AS EXECUTORS. It
ain't the
| same thing as administrators appointed by the court in matters of
intestacy.

|
| No it isn't. From records we have quoted, the two were chosen
Elizabeth's
| executors when she uttered her nuncupative will on her deathbed. They
would
| administer her estate as executors.

would seem

fact. I

probate

period have
