Furthermore, it is my will that if my said children cannot agree upon a division of my movable estate to them bequeathed that the monthly meeting of Friends at Hopewell may choose three Friends to divide the same according to their discretion and their judgment to be final. Lastly I do nominate and appoint my loving wife Hannah Painter and my loving son John painter with my trusty and well beloved friend John Branson to be executor [executrix?] and executors of this my last will and testament and I do utterly disallow, revoke and diannul all and every former testaments, wills, legacies, and executors by me an any wise before this time named willed and bequeathed ratifying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament.
"In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal the day, month and year first above written. John Painter (seal)
"Signed, sealed and declared by the said John Painter as his last will and testament in the presence of Joseph Strattan, Elias Strattan, Thomas Painter, Elias Painter.
"At a court held for Frederick County, March 5, 1771, this last will and testament of John Painter deceased was proved by the oaths of Joseph Strattan, Elias Strattan, Isaac Painter, and Thomas Painter the executors therein named who made oath thereto certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate thereof in due for they giving security whereupon they with John Lupton and Joseph Lupton their sureties entered into and acknowledged a bond in the penalty of one thousand pounds conditioned for their due and faithful administration of the estate. By the Court, J.A. Keith, CC."
An inventory of the estate was given in detail. Basically each of the children received fifteen pounds, seven shillings and one pence except for Hannah Hains (alias Painter) [daughter or mother?] who received 45" 2' 2. Hannah Painter's [wife's?] dower was 69" 4' 0. The total value of the estate was 207" 12' 1 and was settled on September 10, 1773. -- Painter family. pp. 3-5
If the will was probated in March of 1771, it would seem than John Painter died in early 1771 and must have been buried in 1771 not in 1772 as stated
