Crook Jr. is in two parts because John Crook wrote in his will that his lands were to be for the use and benefit of his daughters Nancy Jane Tiller and Mary Frances Crook. The land was not to be sold and divided until his daughter Mary Frances either married or died. She must have died in 1811 and Nancy Jane died Feb. 2, 1913. Henry Kinnebrew administered the selling of all personal property in 1866 and the distribution of funds. Nancy Jane Tiller's son William Henry Tiller administered the selling of the land and distribution of those funds. In the 2nd estate file some of the proceeds were paid by check and the back of the checks have the bank stamps where cashed. There are also signed receipts that indicate relationship to John Crook, such as, son of Martha Smith or daughter of Jno. Smith son of Martha Smith. The 1911-12 list was typed and there are some discrepencies. Vo. 12 W A Philips was signed as Mrs. W. F. Phillips Vo. 20 H C Smith check made to H. Clay Smith (Henry Clay Smith).
