Nicholas Edwards< no role > Surgeon Says that he has Examoned the Sent
of the Deced Susanah Jenkins< no role > & can find no fracture nor any
Confusion & that he has opend the Neck & cannot find any
dislocation or any Blood [..] Coagulated But on farther
Inspection & Examining & sawing of the Head he found then
some Coagulated Blood between the Brain & the Blood Vessells
of the Brain were very much distended, which he believes was
a Rupture of the Vessells of the Brain, which was either
Occasioned by a Blow or the Confinement of the Blood, And
is rather inclined to believe the Confinement of the Blood to be
the Cause of her Death, than by any Blow
