THE ESTATE OF WILLARD GREENE, SR. - 1839 Warren Township, Washington County, Ohio ============================================================================================= This Estate was very hard to read at times, and took some time decipering the old handwriting styles with the use of a maginfying glass when I was transcribing it. This is typed just as it was written. The only changes that I made are in captializing the names. This was done for easy identification. The ?'s indicate that the word was unreadable or questionable. The words in the ( ) are my notes which are not part of the record. /s/ = Signed signature of the person. Thanks to Shirley Bentley for obtaining this record for me at the Washington County, Ohio Courthouse. Thanks to Linda Showalter, who also has a copy of the 'orginial' Estate. We compared our notes when the handwriting was almost impossible to read. Also, thanks to Henry Burke, Ernie Thode and Eliz Hanebury in my research of what is known about the people mentioned in this Estate. ============================================================================================= Washington County, Ohio Probate Record Vol. 5 Pages 597 & 698 Willard Greene’s appraisement and List of Debts due The State of Ohio } In Court of Common Pleas Washington County ss.} April Term 1839 Ordered by the Court that ALEXANDER CALDER, WILLIAM MANKINS and MARTIN BRUMBACK to appraise the personal property belonging to WILLARD GREENE late of the Township of Warren in said County deseased agreeably to law.
