Additional Comments:
Because Mahala Crout lived in Pennsylvania, Brandford County, Town of Troy at
the time her Will was written and at the time of her death, there are
additional citations and court papers.  Her daughter Mahala Jane Rennells and
son-in-law Norman had to appear in New York, Schuyler County, Town of Watkins
to attend the Probate of said Will.  Mahala Crout's date of death is about
Jan. 1885.
