Thanks, >Nancy Nancy, The will that you inquired about was written by Elizabeth Worley COOPER, Wife of Samuel, son of William And Lydia "Liddy" Clark COOPER. I don't think this Samuel and Elizabeth had any children as none are listed in either of their wills. The Ralph HUNT Jr. was probably the son of Ralph and Rachel HUNT as shown in the records of the Quaker Bush River Meeting. Ralph HUNT Jr. also had a sister Joanna (born 1st mo, 8th day, 1786) who married a COOPER. Would anyone know who this COOPER might be?

Thank you much, Joyce. It would make sense that Jesse's Father would be John, as Jesse's son was named John also. As to Jesse's wife, Sarah Elizabeth Cale's father, Henry Cale having been in Hampshire C.,Va...he was born 1812, so he may not have still lived in that county by the 1850 census. By 1901 he had lived and did die in Noble,Guernsey C.,Oh. They really did move! It was very nice of you to check. Best wishes.
