Hi listers, Just recieved a copy of Thomas ILES Will. It is very difficult to read but the essence of it is below. From the reference to Zachary ILES as a brother, Thomas must be the son of Zacerihas ILES and Euah WELSH bp Hawkesbury 1671. The contents of the Will suggests that either he had no immediate family or that they were all dead by 1727. My one question is - did the term "cousin" mean the same in 1727 as it does now?
