Did sons ever witness wills? I have a will for James McCabe Jun., written and proven in 1813, East Windsor Twp, Middlesex county which is now Mercer county, (Will - Middlesex, 10422L) It says James has 6 sons, 4 of whom are to be put to trades, John, Isaac, Obediah and David. The other 2 are not named but Zedekiah McCabe is a witness, all sons are to receive equal share at 21. Also dau, Edith McCabe. Mary his wife mentioned and also executor. Now my theory was that Zedekiah was James' son, and he could be one of the two older unnamed sons, but would he have witnesses his own father's will?
