Hi Leonard and the rest of the listers, Thanks for posting this info. It puts a different light on the question of his will and whether he had children or not. Maybe Justin will respond to this mention of orphan in the probate record. Does anyone out there have any other info on Ulrick/Wolrick/Woolrick Howry's will?
