    1. [NJUnion] Questions: Will of Benjamin Williams
    2. --part1_2d.1e1d6216.2a2d6578_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit << Land in the Miamies, Colombia Twsp., [Ohio], divided between the 4 sons. >>This is the Cincinnati area mentioned. Marsh was about 17 when the will was written so maybe Nancy but surely Sarah was 21yrs old. The land mentioned is from the will of Benjamin Williams written 1792. He was born Jan.1746, almost 50 yrs old. Would it be he planned to move there? Does anyone know if he got it as military land? >From the letters of John Marsh DeCamp we know Marsh, Abraham and John moved to OH and David is mentioned as dead but place unknown.
