Subject: [NJBergen] Quackenbush will and inventory and corrections and additions
Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 05:44:42 EDT

I went over the will of Abraham Quackenbush again and have the following
corrections and additions

1. Looked at I. and J. They look exactly the same. Where an I. is in the
will it could be a J. The will looks as if it was written by Abraham A.
Quackenbush.

2. Added the name Geeshe after Abraham, John & Stephen Christopher to
support mother, Geeshe

3. Added to children of Leonard Quackenbush child Mary wife of
______Inglish. Evidently Abraham A. Quackenbush did not know the first name
of Inglish.

4. I have sold real estate of grandfather, Isaac Storm, .....included word
for word what he has written in the will. It still bothers me that he states
that they were minors. I think he might mean they were minors in 1824 when
the will of Isaac Storms was probated. Anyone with any other ideas please
let us know.

5. At the end of will where I had to Rachel his wife it should have been to
Catherine his wife.

6. Included another statement that Executors could get 1% of will for costs
involved in settling will.

7. Included Inventory.
