<references /> Benjamin Stout did NOT die on 10 June 1734. That is the date his will was proved in court. A person has to have died BEFORE the will is proved and recorded in the court records. His will was written 25 April 1734. That means he died sometime between the day he wrote his will (25 April 1734) and the will was proved in court (10 June 1734). How long it takes for the administrator(s) to present the will to court may be a matter of days, weeks, months, or even years. Most generally it is between a few days to a month or so. To correct in dating Benjamin's death, it should be recorded as "he died between 25 April 1734 and 10 June 1734" or more simply, "he died in 1734."* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Dec 5 2022, 9:24:29 UTC
