The Estate File of William CARDIN
The film of the estate file was obtained through an LDS Family History Center.
The page numbers were added by me. The pages are shown in the order in which
they appear on the film. The backslashes (\\\\\) are shown when I was unable
to decipher a word.
There are quite a few instances of what appear to be abreviations whose meaning is
not clear to me. There were instances of what looked like "To" which I interpreted
as "item". There were other instances that looked like "Do", which was usually
an abreviation for "ditto", except that "ditto" didn't really make sense to me.
I just left them as \\\.
