Don, A photocopy of the actual will has been available on our Myfamily website since July 11 of 2008. It is several pages long since it is on very large paper and had to be scanned top and then bottom. You can see the actual words for themselves. If you haven't accessed our website, let me know and I will add you.

I know French and Indian War but I thought he tried to serve but his son Edward took his place because of illness??.
