Indiana To Wit ) Hamilton County ) Be it remembered that at a term of the Hamilton Probate Court held before the Honorable John Finch, Judge of said Court on Monday the 1st day of November, A.D. 1830, the foregoing instrument of writing purporting to be the last will and testament of George Dale, deceased was brought into open Court and duly proved by John D, Stephenson, one of the subscribing witnesses, thereto and which is ordered to be recorded.

An Inventory of the...notes and accounts of George Dale, deceased, late of Hamilton County, Indiana, this 11th day of December, A.D. 1830...One note on Samuel Dale, Principal & Int. $116.11) Ditto Alexander Dale $79.91) Three notes on Sydnor Dale $66.99) One Ditto Wilburn Davis $28.40) One Ditto John Dale $57.57) One Ditto Joseph Dale $54.64)..."
... Currently, I think Polly Gillum is the remarried widow of James B. Dale who is the son of William Dale. George* Dale, speaking in his will of his niece, Edith Dale, the daughter of Polly Gillum, is somewhat correct; if James B. Dale, the son of William Dale, married Polly and William is a brother to George*, then James is his nephew and Edith is his grandniece. Somehow, I would have liked to have been there when George* was reciting his will and explaining to the scribe how they were related and he not understanding what he was hearing yet wrote what he thought he was hearing as he also lived in and amongst this large Dale clan. But this is no excuse for George* saying "my niece Manerva Dale, daughter of my sons John Dale" unless he was affected by senility. Manerva Dale would be George* Dale's granddaughter and this would show how confused the scribe became. JDS

...The male child found in the 10-15 yr. range, I believe is Catesby Dale. He is not the son of John Dale. The male adult in the 80-90 yr. range, I believe is George Dale. He is the father of John Dale. The female adult in the 30-40 yr. range is John Dale's first wife. The female child in the 5-10 yr. range, I believe is Manerva Dale, who would have lived past the 1840 Census. The female child found in the under 5 yr. range died before 1840. The male child in the 5-10 yr. range is unknown to me. One of the two male children under 5 yrs. old is Ambrose Dale and I am not sure about the other. JDS
