Probate of Will of William Tapscott of Daviess County

William was apparently alive in July 1826 when a letter was written him by James Madison ("James Madison to William Tapscott, 29 Jul 1826," James Madison Collection, Founders Early Access, University of Virginia Press.), but had died by 11 Dec 1826, when his will was probated (Probate, will of William Tapscott, Daviess County, Kentucky, Will Book A, 1815-1842, p. 58, Microfilm Roll 702067, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, Frankfort, Kentucky.). A transcription of the probate court record has been posted in the Tapscott surname message board.
