Elizabeth (HEWITT)

York Co., Wills & Inventories, #19 (1740-1746), p. 8, 18 Mar 1741
Elizabeth, LNU, identified as the widow of Francis Hewitt.

She was not included in the settlement of the estate of Francis Hewit in 7 Sep 1753.
*Source: Research of Bill Adams

We know she was alive after Francis passed, but she may have passed before the estate was settled. Since an appraisal of the estate was returned in 1741, I wonder why it took almost 2 years before the estate was settled?

Mary HEWITT

She was included in the estate settlement of her father Francis Hewitt.
