Transcriber's Notes:
There is no record of proof or probate of the above will. Information from minutes and estate papers indicates that John Liverman died in March 1814 but the estate was not administered until July 1815. Indications are that the will was probably contested but no records survive to confirm that conjecture.
Based on the apparent ages of his children it is likely that Nancy was not the first wife of John Liverman.
Hezekiah Liverman died circa 1817. See court minutes and estate records.
Jethro Liverman died circa 1815. See court minutes and estate records.
