Probate Administration
On Dec. 13, 1682, the Court appointed the widow (unnamed) to Adminster Samuel's estate with John North, Sr. to assist. Administration appears to have proceeded smoothly, until 1694, when the following record was made:
- 6 September, 1694: Whereas, there was a complaint made by John Norton sen. & John Norton Jr. that the Children of Samuel North had not received of John Rue their portions distributed or allotted to them out of their father North's Estate, & sewed sayd Rue for security of what was still to be payd of the sayd Children's portions, This Court doe order the sayd John Rue to pay the remaynder of Tho. North's portion forthwith unto the sayd Thomas North besides what he is to receive in Land, & to give John Norton sen. sufficient security for the portion that is allotted out unto Hanna North by the Court, as sayd John Norton Jun. is guardian unto the sayd Hanna North. All which being don, to be the finall acquittance of the sayd John Rue respecting Samuel North's Children their Estates or portions.
Did the widow remarry a man named John Rue and it is the step-father that this matter concerns?
