Hello again,
I am sending you what I can. The equipment available in my office in
somewhat inferior when it comes to scanning the old documents. First, the
documents all seem to be on "legal" sized paper. Second, they are VERY
fragile. In fact, the edges of Isaac Cooley's will are charred, no doubt
from one of the fires. My scanner only handles "letter" sized documents.
The will is on sturdy paper and writing appears front and back. Other
than Cooley's signature on the back side, it mostly consists of writing
from those who were entrusted to execute the estate.
In any case, I tried to transcribe the will for you. It is not much.
There is no charge for the attached files. Happy to send them and hope it
helps.

Hi Penny,

Too bad about Perrin, but this is actually a really big help in regards to
Isaac. How much would it be to have the record for him copied--and it
would it be just as easy to scan and email it?

Thanks!
