proceedings are mentioned. The administration was granted May

In Admn. Accts. (Baltimore), No. 4, folio 221, is
mentioned the granting of letters of administration on the estates
of THEOPHILUS STROWBRIDGE and ABEGAL STROWBRIDGE, both on the
same day, viz: Jan. 27, 1808, to JESSE STROWBRIDGE, with GEORGE

as to Theophilus. Abegal's amounted to $138.35. Whether Theophilus
Strowbridge, and George and Abegal Strowbridge were of the family
