(Witness) Probate9 June 1766Margaret Howey witnessed the probate of the estate of Jacob Howey on 9 June 1766 at Bucks County, Pennsylvania; John Howey, yeoman, late of Bucks Co., executor of the will of Jacob Howey, late of Abington Twp., deceased.

(Witness) Probate9 September 1766Margaret Howey witnessed the probate of the estate of Joseph Howey 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.5 
(Witness) Property1767John HOWEY sold his rights to the tracts to Mary Ann HOWEY and Margaret HOWEY; 1767, John HOWEY sold his rights to the tracts to Mary Ann HOWEY and Margaret HOWEY.
Presumably these are the nieces of John Howey and daughters of John's brother Joseph.6

     1 NOTE Death Cert. for Bertie Race names Margaret Howey his mother andLanson Race his father. We have found no record of Lanson Race,but the 1880 census places Bertie, age 7, in a family headed byBenjami n Race, wife named Margaret. Bertie was the father ofElmer Race who was the father of Alberta Race (mother, louisedecker). Therefore we conclude that Benja minRace was thehusband of Margaret Howey Race.1
