This information was abstracted from abstracts of NY wills, microfiche #6046928 at the LDS Family History Center. There are several volumes and a separate index for each volume. I believe they were published in "the Record" many years ago. The exact abstracts, errors and corrections and all, are now available on a CD published by the HERITAGE BOOKS, INC. in MD. I will try to remember to place this information on each post from now on. I personally abstracted this data about 10 years ago, and my penmanship could be better!!! 1768 JONATHAN COREY sons Elnathan, Jonathan. dau Mary Smith and Luis More. d.
