How it is shown: Complete image as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Likely only as to content: the summary rests on Ancestry's machine/volunteer reading of the page. The will's date is not shown. The folder treats the Portsmouth Dempsey Nash (the husband of the testator's daughter Elizabeth) as the likely 1832 candidate for the Texas family's Dempsey, but no link to a tree person is shown, so no tree person is tagged. The will names enslaved people (Edy and her children); they are named here as they appear in the will.
