Daniel gave testimony that both Abraham and Frances were at or above 21 years of age. It is assumed that the marriage took place on, or shortly after that date.

On 31 Oct 1826 in Shenandoah County, Virginia,^[4] Abraham Heastant [sic] and Ben Strickler made a marriage bond of $150 for the intended marriage between Abraham Heastant and Mary Strickler. Ben Strickler gave oath that Mary Strickler was over 21 years of age.

Probate of Estate

On 28 Mar 1848,^[1] Silvenus Strickler submitted to the Court an account of probate activities for the estate of Abraham Heastant [sic] (deceased), including distributions from the estate to the heirs of the deceased with statement of the relationship of a given heir to the deceased. The earliest record in the estate account is from Nov 1846; and hence Abraham Heiston died before this date (i.e., before Nov 1846). Hiestand-529 05:00, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
