Witness: John Leewright, Jr, Peter Garrat, Bobby Leeright.
At a court continued & held for Pr. Wm. County the 8th day of April 1783 the above will was proved.
In 1786 Elizabeth Tackett's Dower was set aside. It appears that young Lewis Tackett had reached 18 years old at this time. The final settlement of the Tackett estate was in 1791, so it is assumed that Elizabeth died at this time.
