    2. Shelby Puckett
    3. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this JAMES & MARTHA INGRAM. I have a James Arnold & Martha Jane Smart Ingram in my database, but neither of them were born until after 1820. I think this James might have been a son of ALEXANDER (b. ca 1734) & MARY INGRAM. I'd love to have any information anyone has on any of the people mentioned in this will. Thanks all!
