I found an abstract of a will that will be of interest to Dr. Donald Haynie, if he still subscribes, but thought it might also be of interest to others. The following will abstract is taken from WILL BOOK 0 1752-1773, HALIFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA by Marian Dodson Chiarito p. 39 JOHN EAST Will "...sick & weak...". To my son John East my land & plantation where I now live at age twenty yeares, & personality. To my son William East a new survey of 340 acres on east fork of Allens Cr., & personality.
