Page 151-2 Name: Aaron Owen Location: Wethersfield
Invt. 398-06-09. Taken 3rd September, 1739, by Joshua Robbins and Timothy Boardman.
Court Record, Page 49--12 May, 1739: Adms. to John Coleman, Jr. Recog., 500, with Gershom Nott.
Page 74--4 November, 1740: James Owen, age 17 years, and Hannah Owen, age 14 years, children of Aaron Owen, chose Nathaniel Coleman to be their guardian. Recog., 400.
Page 27 (Vol. XV) 4 November, 1746: John Coleman, Adms., exhibited an account of his Adms. Accepted.
Page 84--3 January, 1748-9: John Coleman, Adms., having rendered his account of Adms. on sd. estate, now moves this Court for a distribution of the moveable estate, 312-06-06, to be distributed: to John, the eldest son, his double share; and to Aaron, James, Hannah and Prudence, to each of them their single shares. And appoint Timothy Baxter, Isaac Riley and Samuel Treat, of Wethersfield, distributors.
Page 115--2 January, 1749-50: John Coleman, Adms., now moves to this Court that distribution of the real estate might be granted to and among the heirs of the sd. deceased: Whereupon this Court appoint Isaac Riley and Samuel Treat, of Wethersfield, to distribute the sd. real estate to Hannah and Prudence, the whole of sd. estate in equal proportion, and make return of their doings thereon to this Court.
This record is unaccountable--that the whole of the real estate should be distributed to Hannah and Prudence Owen, and no mention of the sons, John, Aaron and James Owen. But no further record has been found to either prove or disprove the Court's order for distribution.--[C. W. M.]
