Mar. 15, 1781, in Yarmouth, MA, d. Mar. 10, 1864 in Gouveneur, NY. What government agency would I contact, what are approximate costs, could anyone check on the existence of such a will for me? I am trying to verify the existence of his daughter Mary Howes Cox who moved to Plano, IL about 1844. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
