1825 Will & Inventory of Lt/Col Matthew Murray

Lieut/Col Matthew Murray died in 1811, but in 1825 it was discovered by 2 of his surviving executors, Scott Elliot Esq & George Henderson, that Matthew Murray had acquired bonds a couple of months before his death. The original inventory was valued at £2,207 and the bonds added £1,220 to the value of his estate. This testament is that which declares the discovery of the bonds and permits the executors to distribute and discharge this balance of the assets. This Testament Testamentar was signed by the Clerk of Court of Dumfries, 18 May 1825, 14 years after Matthew's death. [Matthew Murray's military service history was researched by Merryl Uebel-Yan.]
