Hi folks, On 27 Jul 1748, Zachariah CROSS witnessed the will of William ROBBINS in Portsmouth NH. I am interested in knowing more about Zachariah CROSS, but I am also curious as to what being chosen to be a witness meant in 1748 in NH. Is he a friend of the family? Is he someone they can count on finding again? Does he have to be literate? Does he have to be a notary public? Is there a minimum age? In the unlikely chance anyone knows more about Zachariah, please tell me. Assuming he was a friend, what can you tell me about William ROBBINS' family? Where and when they lived, etc. -Jay
