   from Solomon BOYER (w/ Mary) in 1814.

David FLOOK claimed the widow had an autercuptial contract 
(prenuptial agreement) in anticipation of the expected wedding 
and had retained all her property she had before her marriage; 
the widow denied this and claimed she had $600 and it was used 
by her husband, part for an advance to son Henry possibly.  She 
also stated the items she has were purchased by her through the 
administrator.  (This seems to indicate Margaretta may have been 
a second wife and probably not the mother to the children listed 
or at least not the mother of all of them.)

David also claimed there were loans from a few of the siblings and 
claimed his deceased brother Henry had one and that his children 
should be prevented from anything until the claim was resolved.

The plat shows the widow's part of 18 acres of which she did
receive, and 102 acres to Jacob FLOOK on "The Blooming"; however, 
the other property is the one which equals 120 acres.  There are
no plots shown for the other parcels and there was no listing for 
the sale to Jacob.  Perhaps the new deeds would clarify this.

Total sales were $4,722.19; Each 1/8 share was $727.26; Henry's
children each received $80.26.
