Seal Elisha Flack
Exr: brother James Flack. (My Note - still in Guilford at 1809 - not yet moved to Kentucky)
Wits: Cailborn Curtis, Thomas Ross (Jurat)
In an Affidavit, a jurat is the clause at the end of the document stating the date, place, and name of the person before whom it was sworn.)

(MY THOUGHTS: - This Will just begs one question for me - WHY no bequest to sister Jenny ???? - had she already died (are my current dates for Jenny wrong?) - but Jenny got a bequest in her mothers will of 1802 - so this is strange really. [Jim Flack] )
