I OLIVER TAYLOR the elder of Worsley in the County of Lancaster, yeomen send greetings.
Whereas JAMES BORDMAN late of Little Biolton in the Parish of
Deane in the said County of Lancashire, husbandman, deceased did
ordain and make JAMES GRUNDIE of Little Hulton aforesaid
carpenter with whom the said JAMES BORDMAN then dwelled and me
the said OLIVER TAYLOR executioners of the last will and
teastament of him,
the said JAMES BORDMAN.
And for as much as I the said OLIVER TAYLOR am not willing to
undertake or undergo the Charge and Burden of the of the same
executionership nor at all to intermeddle therewith.
Therefore know ye that I OLIVER TAYLOR have refused and
renounced the same executorship and all things concerning the
same.
And do desire that the said JAMES GRUNDIE would solwely take
upon him the Charge and Burden thereof and undergo the same, and
that he may be soley admitted thereunto.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand & seal the
sixteenth day of September in the thirteenth year of the reign
of CHARLES, King of England, etc

What I have is a copy of a Alien Registration Form, sent to me by
mistake from the NARA Archives. She is enumerated in the 1930 US
Census with her husband Marquita and 7 children, in Cotulla TX. It
gives her place of birth, physical description and how and where she
last entered the US.
He was convicted of Conspiracy to Violate Bankruptcy Laws.
He was sentenced on 24 Jun 1929 and started serving his term on
25 Jun 1929.
From the 1920 US Census, he is enumerated as Louey Morrin, living
in Johnston City IL. Looking at the actual image, he is living in
Herrin IL with his wife Sadie and children Joe, Frank, Louis,
Eugene, Edith and Jesse.
I also found and have an obit for his son Frank.
This obit clarifies that the Louey Moroni I found in the 1920 US
Census, is the correct person. The obit also lists his mother as
Santina Rocassi.
