Additional Comments:
The old "Wills" are a challenge to read. I interpreted them the best I could 
and tried to included only useful information to aide in genealogy research. 
The office where these old records are kept has standing room only and they do 
not make copies of the "WILL" because they are old and bound in big books. If 
you need additonal information, I would suggest you physically view the records 
for personal interpretation.
