Dear Carla and others, Thanks so much for your input. I had not seen these items before. Have you seen a copy of the complete will of Martin S. Davenport? Since Presley Davenport was married to Sarah Abigail Credille, I would think that I might be able to learn something from the Will of Ellington Credille, and also, from the Will of Ellington's father as well (assuming that Sarah was Ellington"s sister). Do you know where I might be able to see these, short of going to GA? I beg your indulgence, for I am new at genealogy and am not that sure of how to do certain things. I don't want to burden anyone by asking them to do something in particular for me, but rather only want to ask for advice as to ways in which I might find out something for myself.
