(probate below will - 2 Nov 1807)

Notes on possible identification:
I THINK  this is the same John that is listed in the 1790 census of
Abbeville ,S.C. And I THINK that he is related to my BAIRDS ,WILLIAM AND
ALEXANDER  that lived there (Abbeville 96 district, S.C.) in 1790 and
went to Jackson Co. Ga. abt 1799.
I also THINK  that he had a sister Mary or Sarah that md. Alexander. Does
any one know how we can find THIS john's family (brothers and sisters and
parents?
