[Rand]- After her husband's death, in February, 1691, Amy GARTHRIGHT petitioned the court for administration on his estate, and Thomas East and Samuel GARTHRIGHT were her security. She complained to the court that the estate was so small that it just about covered the debts. In the meantime, however, Captain William Randolph had made claim against her for a thousand pounds of tobacco and cask, and on 4.7.1691 he obtained judgment.
