On 13 February 1846 Rebecca Gillham, daughter of the deceased, provided a written statement to the probate court stating that she was one of the several heirs of Barbara Laughlin and that, to her knowledge, the several heirs of said deceased received of the administrators of her estate the sum of $105.50 each, by themselves or through their guardians.14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 |

We have happily included the document's information and are hoping that, during our verification process, we will be able to confirm its validity.
