Hi, This does not make sense. How could his daughter be an Anny DANIEL and she the heir of his other daughter, Tabitha and her brother, Royal DANIEL. It does not make sense to me. I assume he had three daughters, Ketura, Ann and Tabitha and one son, Royal, based upon what I am seeing in this will. However, who was the son-in-law, James DANIEL, also mentioned in the will? This tells me that one of his daughters married a James DANIEL. Who was he? Was he Anny's husband? If so, that really interests me, especially if STANFORD was SANFORD..... Excerpts from Hopkins's will: <<< [To my daughter Keturah Stanford I give five dollars: The remainder of my effects to be equally divided with my daughter Anny Daniel, the heirs of my daughter Tabitha Gordy and my son Royal Daniel >>> <<< Likewise I make, constitute, and appoint my son in law James Daniel guardian for the heirs of my daughter Tabitha, also to be executor of this my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made. >>> John R.
