Transcribed by Gerry Neville, January 2011
Notes by Patricia Balkcom: Mary and her husband, David McBain, both wrote a will on the same day. David died seven months later, Mary lived another twenty-one years and remarried. I imagine that they wanted to make sure that two of their children who were “deaf and dumb” were taken care of.4
