-- MERGED NOTE ------------

Notes:
Mary's maiden name as Boswell is based on the deposition of her sister Ann concerning the estate of John Hanson and the various NOK and Securities to the various estate administrations recorded in William Boswell's notes, especially the fact that Angus McCoy and Francis Goodrick were the security for William Boswell's administrator.

Mary was still "Mary Hanson" as NOK to her son George Goodrick Jan 9 1764 and in the deeds below to her grandchildren on 5 Oct 1764.
