Thanks Sstanger,
I have ordered many microfilms containing probate records and land transfers. The will was written and recorded in 1838. To date, I have not found much on this family, it seems as though they had no children and were giving their estate to their nephews John and Duncan Grant. And their grand nephews. James and John McDonell.
Most of the land records that I saved copies were for Grants but not McDonells. Sigh. . . I guess you never know what you need.
Do you think that they had Death Registrations in 1838?
I will have to order abstracts of the lots. Thanks
