Louisa Co., Va. Will Book 3, page 502 -
Aron Fontaine and Garrett Minor, examine and
approve the account produced to them by Enos Tait, acting executor of James
Tait, deceased, and find the said James Tait's personal estate to amount to 646
pounds, 9 shillings, 7 d - etc. The Court will decide what is
the widow's part.
We find that Rachel Hesther, daughter
of the same James Tait, deceased, died before him, leaving a son, Charles
Hesther, now living. We find also that John and Nathan Tait, sons of the
said James Tait, deceased, entered into the Continental Army previous to the
said James' death.
