It's not quite what you might think.
This presentation discusses an 1889 will that was denied in 1900 with no stated reasons. An exhaustive search of records resulted in the likely reason and made the machinations of one son a little easier to see and made the reasons behind some documents a little more clear.
Along the way we discuss a few key terms and also see why chronology and context are always important--especially so when things are confusing.
