ABSTRACT
OF DEED FOR GENEALOGICAL PURPOSES
“Occasionally
it is found that a testator who was known to be an educated person signed his
will by making his mark, so it is not always evidence of illiteracy when the
will is signed by a mark, nor is the signature to the will generally a
satisfactory signature of the testator, as often he is sick, weak, or infirm in
body at the signing of the will.” –Abstract of Wills, Grimes, Intro. P.
5 (contributed by former member).
