Was this actually the adminstrator's bond for Sarah as Administrator of W illiam, or is there another Sarah Hogset in Rockingham County?

1 2 Death: AFT 1812 in Augusta Co., Virginia Note: Perhaps she is the "Sarah Hogshead" recorded as being buried in the Gil keson-Hogshead Cemetery in 1816? Sarah was a common name so it is diffi cult to know for certain at this time.
