Note

     The above document has several obvious mistakes that are probably due
to the Clerk's errors upon entry into Will Book A.  These errors are:

1.  Sarah A. Adkins should read "Sarah A. Atkisson"   Sarah was born 22
Jul 1837 in Roane Co. TN and died 19 Oct 1895 in Wright Co. MO.  She
married Jesse W. Atkisson and they had 10 children.  Sarah Adeline Freeman
was my great-grandmother.

2.  Sarah J. Dill should read "Susan J. Dill"   Susan was born ca 1846 in
Roane Co. TN

3.  The missing name in the list of sons is "Henry" who was born ca 1844
in Roane Co. TN

4.  The last mention of Mr. Brazeal shows "Wm C" when it should read "H.
C."
