Dear Folks, I saw this on the LI List and got permission from the person who submitted it to forward it on to this list. Perhaps most of you have seen it. If I recall, it is assumed that this John Coe left no children, but the will is useful for establishing relationships. The Deborah Kniffen comment below, was made by the person who submitted the will. I have never seen that before, perhaps one of you will confirm or deny that for the rest of us. Sorry about the untidy format. Phoebe "Don't know too much about this one. I believe his mother was Deborah Knif= fen." Abstracts of Wills Vol III 1730-1744, page 179: Page 348.--In the name of God, Amen.
