See Document:Will of William Huston of Catfish Creek, 1802

Analysis

person:William Huston (4) of Catfish Creek wrote his will 7 December 1802, It was probated on 24 January 1803. The estate record includes a receipt dated 16 Jan 1803, for

1 pair of cotton stockings,
1 pair of white gloves,
2 gallons of sherry and
1 gallon of spirits

Pam felt this was probably a receipt for a funeral and wake

Another entry was made for a receipt dated 24 January 1803 for a coffin paid to John Wilson, who is known to be a carpenter in the area.

From these receipts we can presume that William died immediately prior to 16 Jan 1803. though his will was written in early December it seems likely that he died about the second week of January.
