Estate sale for George T. WELLS in Spencer Co. - a lot of names that connect
to research being done here - surnames listed:

ANDERSON, BEAUCHAMP, BECKHAM, BENNET, BOWLS, BRIDWELL, BROWN,  BUCKNER,
CUNNINGHAM,  DAVIS, EASLEY, EDRINGTON, EGGEN, FLOYD,  HARDESTY, HEADY, KURTZ,
LINDERMAN, MARTIN, MADDUX, MATHIS, McCROCKLIN,  NORMAN, SCOTT, STOUT,
THOMAS, TUCKER, TYGERT, VANDYKE,

This sale was awfully hard to read in places  as though the clerk was in a
hurry and didn't really form some of his letters but just scrawled them
quickly.  Hopefully I haven't misread anyone's name - some items were beyond
my ability to decipher.
