New York Surrogate's Court December 15, 1850 (Ruddon v. McDonald)

The Surrogate.

The main, objection to the admission of this will to probate, grows out of the manner in which the witnesses signed their names. The decedent at the time of the' execution lay upon a bed, in a small bedroom, from which a door opened into a larger room adjoining, upon a table in the corner of which the witnesses subscribed their names.
