- and probated in October 1832. His will names as heirs daughters, Sally Murphy and Dorcas Scott, and names sons Elijah and James Cannon as executors. There is no indication that the will names all heirs. The will contains specific bequests only for his two daughters named above with the remainder of his estate to be divided among "all my children."
