Probate*5 April 1749His estate was probated on 5 April 1749 at Abington, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania.5 
Probate9 September 1766His estate was probated on 9 September 1766 at Bucks County, Pennsylvania; John Howey, yeoman, late of Bucks Co., executor of the will of Joseph Howey, deceased. John is being summoned by the court to answer contempt issues on the estate objected against him by Samuel, Mary Ann, and Margaret. To appear 8 December (crossed out September) next. Issued 9 September 1766.

John filed the inventory and accounting for the estate Dec 1762 - about 3 years after Jacob's death (the estate went to probate 7 Dec 1759. 3 years is a pretty long time especially since the estate wasn't that large or complex.)
This case was filed nearly six years after Jacob's death. It must have been the case that John Howey had filed (and signed) the final accounting but never actually delivered the share of Jacob's estate to Joseph and Eleanor's children. Perhaps there was some bad blood since Eleanor had remarried. Perhaps John was unreliable or a even a scoundrel.6

    You can get a copy at the SCCH, through Ellie Kidd, if you didn't have
    this, only because these applications have actual signatures, and I find
    those useful in my research, besides being fun to collect. I'd offer
    you a copy myself, but honestly, not sure where I put these this moment,
    or if I took a copy or just jotted from the book in the clerk's office,
    but if I come across it, I'll holler.
