some of the debts may have been used to pay off earlier debts and also Rachel is implicated in the illegal sale of a hoard of silver coins found in 1834 which may also have helped pay off some of the debts (none of the deeds are explicitly marked as cancelled which was the norm when a debt was formally cleared via the court
Thus John husb of Rachel could not be s/o Margt Hutchin
