Observations :

The documents include a statement of allegation by Morgan Jones against a George Prichard, Cautorni. It is headed Rowleston and endorsed 'exhibited 28 February 1764' [from this document it appears that George Jones is attempting to dispute the deceased's goods, and this statement is to determine that the will was properly formed, signed etc.]. There are two cover sheets, one for the will and another for the allegation. 4 sheets in all.
