McAfee Probate Records
In my opinion, the file found in Livingston County Probate Records, Box #1931, is regrettably incomplete. Only four documents are to be found. Images and transcripts follow: Document

H. Anderson on oath says that Jacob McAfee died without leaving a will at
Livingston County, leaving as his heirs Charles M., James, Albert Henry, Jacob
A., Eugene C. and George McAfee, all of aforesaid county, excepting Jacob A.
living in Caldwell Co. and that he will make a perfect inventory of and
faithfully administer the estate of said dec’d and pay the debts as far as the
assets will extend and the law direct. and account for and pay all assets which
shall come to his knowledge or possession.
