Cornelius probate next of kin

Cornelius' will was only 2 pages long, but was sloppy, and mentioned Dorcas, who were already dead. The executors didn't know the names and locations of all of the heirs. This resulted in a massive probate process. (The probate file is 140 pages long. The heading on this snapshot points to the location of the full file on LDS FS.) This excerpt lists siblings, nieces, and nephews.
