I will send you a picture of Bannister if you wish. The following was sent to me by on of Bannisters decendants. The transcription of the will is all that I have of it. If there is more I am unaware, but you are definitely right, there are two missing, and none of them predeceased John, but those two appear to have been born before John and Mary were married in 1760. Below is the information I have on John and Mary's children. Jane and Nancy are missing from the will. The paper I have is a copy of a copy and it was transcribed in 1978, with no footnotes, authentication, or anything else at the bottom. Sorry. I will attach Michael's will to this message. It is in a little better order and has proper notations at the bottom that would be expected to appear on a legal document. Hope you have better luck at reading it. Dave -B ===================== 1.
