Information concerning the circumstances of the murder.

DJY: Stephen Yancey left no will. What follows is information abstracted from court records in reference to the settlement of his estate.

The probate records give very little textual information that would document the members of Stephen Yanceys family and his relatives - what follows are names that are mentioned in the estate settlement - very little information is recorded with the name on the original records - a very brief name and description and a monetary amount. The monetary amounts have here been excluded.

The dates associated with these entries span from 1785 through 1793. These entries, however, do not seem to have been recorded in court records until 1793.

Names mentioned in the estate settlement follow: (info in brackets has been added for informational purposes and is not in the original record)
