Help with legal term abbreviation

Question

Please help me interpret the highlighted legal term in this 1877 estate document. I believe that it means brother, but want to be sure. And does this then mean that William and Joseph are brothers of Eli and the others listed?

A little background, John N. Bell died 24 March 1862. His Last Will was destroyed during the Civil War and the resulting probate took over 20 years to settle, likely due to the Civil War and children having lived in different counties and states.

Thanks so much!

Yes that one works

I think you're correct. They are brothers.

The word looks like “Bros.”
