Will of Isaac Cottle, transcribed by Tarena, tdeden@q.com:Here is the transcribed will and probate of Isaac Cottle dated 1.21.1814. I can't scan it very well because my scanner only scans 8x10 and it is legal size. This gives you the gist of what it says. Back then all the 's' were written as f's so I did change that for easier reading, but left the rest alone. The last name of the 2nd witness I was not positive of or the Judge's name which is why there are question marks after them. I have now uploaded this to familysearch for everyone to access it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
