Simeon Milner and John Milner (known as Jack Milner)

From Willis Milner's will:

"Porely of body but sound of mind and memeory," he left his beloved wife, Sally, a cow and calf, a bed, some furniture and the loan of his farm, "during her being a virtuous widow."  Otherwise the estate was to be divided between his two sons, Simeon and John Ballard (usually referred to as Jack Milner).  The little boys chose their grandfather, the Captain, as guardian but lived on the farm with their mother.  in 1802 when the boys were "grown" and, as Willis, had stipulated, had finished their education as "English scholars,"  Sally received the final payment from the estate for the boy's board, clothes and education.  It was $29 and 14 hogs.
