Additional Info
"Two years after Michael's death, Elizabeth the widow married Thomas Hall who was a widower and also had children. Perhaps in order to avoid another situation that might be as trying as the one in which she was involved in connection with the settlement of Michael's estate, Elizabeth drew up a legal agreement with Thomas to the effect that "since each has children and both are desirous of obviating uneasinesses and jealousies which too frequently arise in similar cases and tend in their consequences to interrupt the repose and destroy the peace of families and individuals, said Elizabeth Troutman and said Thomas Hall will retain their individual properties to be disposed of according to the will of each. When Elizabeth died in 1822 her property was appraised at $3209.09." Text copied from Filson Club Historical Society: "The Troutman Families of Kentucky" Evelyn Crady Adams
