Hi Curt, No, he did not include the entire will, just the parts that I quoted and he did not say where it physically is located other than the reference "Cheshire Original Wills, 1660." "Thomas was born Overton, 3rd 3m [May] 1679." Register, Society of Friends, Quarterly Meeting of Cheshire and Staffordshire, 1648-1783 PRO film at FHL in Salt Lake city, pp.13-16. It would have been great if he gave the film number like Phyllis does when she finds something!!!!! http://www.genealogy.dutton.net/gen5_penn.htm Absolutely must go to work and bring home the bacon. Talk to you later, Carole _____________________ Curt Rowe wrote: > > Great find Carole. I didn't expect to find any data for that period.
