Transcriber's Notes:
Betsy Hassell appears to be the wife of William Hassell who died in late 1807 or early 1808. See court and estate records for
him. John A. Melson was administrator for both William and Betsy as well as William Melson at about the same time.

is possibly the above Betsy Hassell.
