Repost of another query sent to the New London County, Connecticut list: Henry A. Baker, in his "History of Montville, Connecticut", also says: This Samuel Holmes was a resident of the North Parish and died about 1774, aged fifty-two years. His will, dated August 4, 1774, names his wife as executor, but does not give her name. He says there are eleven children, and only names one, his daughter Prudence, "who is incapacitated to help herself." Does anyone know where I can get the text of Samuel HOLMES's will? -- - Rich Holmes <hrholmes@mindspring.com> Morris: Thornden (Syracuse, NY), Salt Springs (Syracuse, NY) Genealogy: BELDEN (NY), COLLINS (NY,RI), CURRIER (NY,NH), HANSEN (NY), HAYES (NY,CT), HOLMES (NY,CT), JENSEN (NY), YORK (NY,CT)
