While reading the records in the Lincoln Co. Court
of Ordianry 1807 -1819 I found this will for William
Paradice-Paradise in Book Q, page 130. I am in no
way connected to this name, just thought that
someone researching this family would like to have
it. It was the only will in this book of
inventories. It is not listed in the wills of
Lincoln Co.
