Notes |
- On 10 MAy 1803 Walter Charles and Sarah his wife, "late widow of John Pauley"
entered another petition for inquest and/or partition naming John Pauley's
seven children: John, Thomas and James Pauley, Agnes, wife of Isaac Sellers;
Sarah, wife of Archibald Ewing, Elsey and Elizabeth Pauley. At the inquest
held at the home of Walter Charters of Greenwood Township on 8 September 1803
before William Sterritt Esq., Sheriff of Mifflin County, the jury decided that
the property, a messuage and two adjoining tracts containing 200 acres, could
not be suitably divided, but should be evaluated at $2460. On 30 March 1807
this decision was set aside and a new petition of Walter and Sarah Charters
again named John Pauley's seven children with two new developments: John
Pauley Jr. is dead leaving one daughter for whom Samuel Sharron is appointed
guardian; Elizabeth Pauley is now the wife of Samuel Miller.
