-* In the Letters of Administration of Joseph St. Clair, the script appears in places to say "Archibald St. Clair, son".  This would seem to indicate that Joseph St. Clair was the father of Archibald St. Clair.   However, the circumstances of appointing a guardian (presumably for young children), and the coincidence of the widow's name being Susanna, all point to the deceased being Joseph the son of Archibald St. Clair.  It is possible that the script read as "son" is actually "sen", designating Archibald Sr. Or, "son" may be the equivalent of "Jr.", and refer to Archibald, son of Archibald St. Clair. Or, it may indicate that Joseph, son of Archibald, had a son named Archibald.
+* In the Letters of Administration of Joseph St. Clair, the script appears in one place to say "Archibald St. Clair, son"; but elsewhere to be "Archibald St.Clair, sen."   It could be that Joseph had a son Archibald, but more likely that both these entries designate Archibald Sr., father of Joseph.  In both entries, the articles from the estate are farm equipment, an unlikely bequeath to a young child.
