Thank you very much Joe Patterson, The book I used was John Leverings book. I had noted the will you spoke about but since I am new to this I had a hard time getting the will terminalogy through my thick skull. I will read what you sent today to hopefully gain new clues. I know Samuel Tennis (son of William and Magdalena) was born 1716 so I assumed his brothers were around that era but cooudn't determine much about about the other boys. As I said I will read what other info you sent and may put it together.(hope I am smart enough, I know I am stubborn enough) Thanks so much for your help.
