At a Consistory Court holden at Peettown March 30 1767

and Thos Curghey Guardian and supervisor of the children 
in this Petition mentioned having declared that the said 
children are taken due care of and that the oldest son 
and Heir is sent to a distant and proper school for his 
Education we think proper to allow the Petitioners the

Estate towards the support and education of said children 
over and above the interest of their goods for the period 
of three years from this date hereof to all which the said 
Guardian made no objection
