[NOTE: in transferring this information from a spreadsheet to a word document, there was no way to distinguish between the dollar figure for real estate and that of personal estate when only one number was given. In most cases, one number indicates personal estate, especially if the occupation is other than a farmer].

[Beginning on page 79A is a long list of children, located in the "S. O. School". I've been informed this refers to the Soldiers' Orphans School.]
