**This document is divided between two pages, however page numbers are not
shown and the documentation lists only "page 257". At the top of
the second page is shown "November 1834", which suggests this was
the regularly scheduled session of the Orphan's Court at Lancaster, Penna.
As a result of photocopying the night edge of the document is dark, this plus
the old script makes some of the writing on this and the following illegible
or difficult to decipher. Various spellings of names shown are the result
of each being seperately interpreted. Comparisons plus examination of census
records, etc. may help detemine the actual identities. (pjd)
