      Administration of estate by Sarah, d/o William Smith (mm-should read Alexander. see note following}, now wife of Henry Hawkins, Jr.; estate inventory recorded 24 Mar 1689

      mm note: The 12 Dec 1688 deed of gift was recorded in the court of 11March1694 to show the actualization of the conveyance of Alexander's plantation and other material items to daughter Sarah. the inventory doesn't automatically do that.

      Alexander's inventory was recorded by Sarah as adminstrator 24 March 1689 so Sarah married Henry Hawkins sometime between the 12Dec1688 gift and the 24Mar1689 inventory.

      Sarah to have plantation where I now live at the head of Wicomico River, servants, goods, chattel, Negroes, stock of cattle, hogs, horses, mares, and whatever goods I possess at the time of my decease

      There was a William Smith's will that was probated 13 Mar 1694 and his will mentions an unamed daughter. The transcriber probably mixed the two records.
