Are there any Benedict wills in this early wills book. If so, I would be interested. Particularly Daniel Benedict. I need to prove that Wallace Benedict was his son.

The "Early Wills of Orange County NY" book oes ave some abstracts 1730-1787, but 'd presume that all of them died in this area. Do you have specific names and dates? I have names, but no dates--that's what I'm trying to find. Some of these people ay have been in Westchester county, NY--there is a lot of variation and range. Eleazor Yeoman--he died about 1797 not sure where (Westchester or Orange). Born bout 1702 probably in Suffolk Co, NY. Fountains--maybe Matthew Fountain, no clue when or where he died (might even een Canada)--I'm specifically looking for a mention of Abigail (husband was tephen Yeoman) who may have been his daughter. She was born around 1755, maybe. Solomon Yeoman (no idea on dates or where) he was born about 1667 in Suffolk ounty, NY. Stephen and Abigail Yeoman died in Fayette county, Ohio--I've found his will, ot hers. I"ve not worked on this line for quite a while, since I really need to find rimary sources--older research is a huge part of the problem. Notice all the aybes and probablies. This line has been one of the most frustrating--a prime xample is Abigail (Fountain?)--I've seen birthyears as early as 1730 and as ate as 1760. I have looked in the Orange county book with no luck.
