PROBATE RECORDS -April 1860-- containing surnames:  SHEATS, RICHARDSON, 
PORTERFIELD, STREETMAN, BRIDGES & SMITH

I ordered some Madison County probate records regarding Streetmans, 
and received the following.  It is written in a clerk's handwriting, 
parts of which are illegible [thus, I insert __________ (?) and (my 
best guess at what it seems to say)].  The word "fifa" is unfamiliar 
to me.  I do not know its meaning, so would be grateful if someone 
could interpret it.--Heidi Streetman
