Source:  my notes from Whitfield Co Ga probate/wills,
1852-1897, LDS rental # 490983 Sorry, I neglected to
get dates on some

p 2-3. James Anderson's will.  wife Ann, children:
John , Martha A. and Sarah...Isaac , Margaret, Mary,
and JOhn (some of these to receive part of an estate
which had passed from deceased William Anderson of
Baldwin Co, Georgia down to his son, now deceased,
James Anderson).

p 26/27. Dec 1855 will of Hugh Burk, probated Jan 1856.
This was a 'fact filled' 2 pages but it had faded so
bad, will not recopy. Fortunately I could read it while
on the microfilm viewer. I typed a complete transcript
of it, if anyone wants, let me know. There is also a
Burk web site (not mine) which has part of the will on
it along with family group of Hugh's wife/kids, etc
