note:
Transcribed by Dennis F. Carpenter, July 2009
Items that appear to have been inserted are transcribed in brackets. The
surrogate writes Richard Allison in probate, which should read Benjamin
Carpenter. Richard Allison's will was also probated in 1767 and his
son-in-law Samuel Carpenter was one of the executors of his will,
probably the same Samuel, and was probably a nephew of Benjamin, called
cousin here. Only his "six youngest children" and "three youngest
daughters" named here, indicating there may have been older children, or
at least one daughter not named.
