Will (source Ernest M. Wiltshire): In the will of his step-motherMartha Bersheba Sober, dated 26 Apr 1795: "I have left my estate toHope Elletson Sober for his life only, as I believe his atachment tothe Indian is not legal and his ch are illegitimate in justice to therest of my husband's family. His handsome legacy from his grandmotherand aunt."
