Merrill v. Sanborn
2 N.H. 499 | Superior Court of New Hampshire | 1822
The question in this case is, whether the testator omitted the mention of Mrs, Merrill in his will by-design, or through forgetfulness and mistake? She was one of seven grand-children, the children of the testator’s only son. The testator mentions two of her brothers ami her father ; on what ground are we to presume that the testator omitted the other five children of his only son through forgetfulness ? We are of opinion, that there is no ground for such a presumption. It is incredible that he should have passed over five out of seven grand-children through forget
Judgment for the tenants.
