They were witnesses to a will of a relative:
James Cunningham made his will 2 March 1810, added a codicil 10 September 1812, and died three days later. His will, with codicil, was probated 24 September 1812. (Greene County Will Book E, pp. 110-113.) Therein he provided that his children should "Have a good English education - reading, writing and arithmetic - at a private country school"; that his sons should go "one year to an academy of publick boarding school for studying English grammar, geography, etc." that his daughters attend "publick school or keep a school mistress, the time to be discretionary with my wife Frances"; that his sons should "have a liberal education, if they have a good genius, and desire it …. (and) when not at school, and of ability, to be kept constantly at farming or some other honest occupation, adapted to their genius and bodily strength." To each child he left $1,200 which, by the codicil he increased to $1,500. He named as executors his wife Frances, his friend Thomas Terrell, Jeremiah Early who had married his oldest daughter, his partner James Kelso Daniel and his son Thomas Cunningham as soon as he reach 21 years of age. Among the witnesses to the codicil were Nathaniel and Polly McClurg, brother-in-law and sister of the testator's wife, Frances.
