    Page 13—16 June, 1701: Mary the relict of Thomas Marshall, late of Boston, deceased, makes complaint to this Court of difficulties in obtaining her husband's right in the estate of his father Thomas Marshall, Sen., deceased. Parties were cited to appear in Court. Bevil Waters and John Catlin were ordered to distribute the estate according to the will of the testator and according to the order of this Court bearing date 21 August, 1693."
