    MerriamWebster online has Admor as an abbreviation for: administrator.

    This fits in the court document listing the parties.

    …Charles Hays Jr. Admor (administrator) of Isaac Hays Dec'd (deceased) & Samuel Hays's Admor (administrator) Etc. Etc. …

    is the way I interpret the last line of listed Defendants.

    The funny V - the scribe is clearly using for "&", I read the Vcc as Etc. Etc.

    @Mark McKenzie_1 It would be preferable to see more of the document rather than an isolated sentence. Seeing the full context is often invaluable in interpreting documents.

    The first 'letter' of the mystery 'duplicate' words at the end of the list of defendants sure looks like the ampersand that is used elsewhere in the document. The link to the entire document I didn't make obvious enough in my first post but it is a Court Order that deals with this line. Among the others listed my interpretation is that Charles Hays Senr Administrator of Isaac Hays Deceased is one of the Defendants. So based on the wording, is Charles Hays Senr also the Administrator of Samuel Hays as signified by the mystery words
