*****

George McColskey and Jas R. McColskey presented James Parker’s last will and 
testament to the court on 7 Aug 1885 [this should probably be September, like 
the next entry issuing letters testamentary] and stated that he had died on 15 
Aug 1885.





Additional Comments:
Benjamin Sutton's nephew, Henry Frank Sutton, would marry Kenneth and Elizabeth 
Britt's daughter, Prudence Anna Britt, in 1878 in Robeson County.  They moved in 
the early 1890's to Wilcox County, Georgia.
