Agnes Shaw died before 27 February 1772 at Kent Co., Delaware, USA; I am not certain about the two probate records for women named Agnes CRAIGE: one from 1769 and a second from 1772. They are both about Administration of her estate.
     --Are they for the same woman with two different probates, or
     --Are they for two different women with the same name?7,6

Her estate was probated on 27 February 1772 at Kent Co., Delaware, USA,
;

"Craige, Agnes, Admin. of, to Ann Craige. Feb 27, 1772. Arch. vol. A11. page 146."7
     In Joshua Shaw's will dated 19 March 1732/33, Agnes Shaw was named as an heir; "Shaw, Joshua. Will. Made March 19, 1732/3.

N.B.: I do not know if the William SHAW mentioned is Ephraim's brother or an uncle. I assume that Prudence GRAY and Agnes CRAIGE are Ephraim's sisters. I futher assume that the John CRAIGE (husband of Agnes SHAW) is the brother of Leah (CRAIGE) SHAW. GA Vaut.9
