DEATH DATE:

On pages 15 and 16 of Will Book A of Benton Co., Arkansas there is a report in the minutes of the probate court for the July Term 1837 about the death of Allen McCurdy. It is alleged that he died intestate, and William H. Woods and James McCurdy were appointed to administer the estate. The report is signed by the clerk of the court and dated September 26, 1837. The dates on such reports are often subsequent to the indicated Term of the court. Allen McCurdy presumably died before July 1837.

On March 11, 1837 Allen McCurdy sold 40 acres to George H. Jefferson in Washington Co. (Deed Bk A, pg 303). He must have died after March 11.
