Notes
General:
WILL:

Sarah Walton's will is number 87 on page 529 in Philadelphia Will Book 9 (LDS microfilm 21735). The ink is faded and the will is hard to read. The date at the beginning 'September 30th' is clear. The date at the end looks like 'thirteenth of September', but maybe 'thirteenth' is 'thirteyth'. The date on which the will was proved may be 'June 8th' or it may be some other day in June.

PROBATE:

Philadelphia Orphans' Court Estate Papers, Bk 32, pg 252, #22 (LDS microfilm 1293464):

On January 3, 1831 John L. Friedlein and Elizabeth Walter filed their accounts for the administration of the estate of Sarah Walton, dec'd. The list of expenses includes funeral expenses, several of which seem to be dated June 1830. Total expenses = $258, including a balance of $92.50 in the estate. That $258 has two components: amount of inventory ($85.50) and cash from E. Walton ($172.50).

Is E. Walton Enoch Walton? I don't know.
