Finding Death Dates
By Jeannette Holland Austin
So how do we know when someone died? If they had a will, we can use the
date of probate as a basis. Every Last Will and Testament has a date of
probate. This is found on the page following the will document. It is
important to write the probate date down. After a person dies, a family
member takes the last will and testament to the county court house where
the deceased resided. This is done within 2 or 3 days after the death
and is important because it enables the executor to begin the process of
administering the estate to the heirs. This process includes creating
the annual returns, inventories, distributions and vouchers, etc. and
should always be examined by genealogists. If the date that the will was
filed for probate was say October 3, 1802, it is safe to conclude that
the death occurred several days prior. So now, you know when to search
old newspapers for obituaries!

Gold
Mine Discovered in Union District"A Gold Mine has been discovered in
Union District, South Carolina, in the waters of Tyger River. The ore is
said to be of such extent as to afford employment to 500 hands at good
wages. A speciman of the gold has been pronounced by Dr. Cooper, equal
in purity to say he ever saw. A company is expected that the members of
the company formed to work the gold mines of North Carolina, have
divided each $3000." Source: Southern Recorder, Milledgeville, Georgia
