Happy Hunting, Jack McNatt ----- Original Message ----- From: "BEVERLY A PHILLIPS" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 8:18 AM Subject: [LDR] William Veach, Witness and Executor to Wills in Sussex County 1773 to about 1800 Who was this person? He was executor to the will of Mary Lofland, wife of Cornelius, probated 1/29/1774, and witness to the wills of William Lofland, Sr. 12/15/1785, Dorman Lofland, Jr. will probated 12/13/1788, Littleton Loftland's will of 3/11/1799? What was his relationship of Elias Veach also mentioned as witness in some of these references? They all were in Sussex County, Delaware. One reference says he was the son-in-law of Mary Lofland. Any help for you would be greatly appreciated. A book mentioned to me is "Scharf's History of Delaware" but that book is out of print and I cannot obtain it to research more on William Veach, if he/his family tree is mentioned in it. Do you know? My deepest appreciation for any help, thank you. Beverly Phillips email is [email protected] *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
