Linda Reno, I have Robert FORD III also married to Teresia VAN SWERINGEN daughter of Garret VAN SWERINGEN and Mary SMITH. Is This correct?

Hello all. I have researched "Margaret Dunn" a LOT. I believe she was Margaret (Spink) Dunn. That is, I believe she was the daughter of Edward Spink who died 1717-18 in SMC. Everything fits in--the family associations, who lived in the neighborhood, the dates, etc. I'm just not sure why Margaret (Spink) Dunn would be being left anything in the Will of Robert Ford. Thoughts? John Dobricky On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Jerry L.
