    1. [PACENTRE] Indexed will/estate records for Absalom Timms, abt 1830
    2. Brian
    3. Hello.  I am new to this list, and I am hoping that someone here may be able to help.  I am researching who I believe to be one of my ancestors who lived in Pennsylvania.     His name was Absalom Timms, and he was born about 1760.  After serving in the Revolutionary War, he moved to Pennsylvania.  I don't know exactly when he died, but I'm guessing it was sometime around 1830.  I know it was after 1820, because he filed a pension application then.  I didn't find him in the 1840 census, so it was sometime in that 20 year time period.    What I am hoping to find is a will or estate record that lists his children.  The problem is, I don't know where he died either.  He bounced around a lot between several different counties in PA.    I would like to be able to order the LDS film that might have his papers, but I don't know when or where they were filed.  Is there an index available that might have him listed?  If so, could someone tell me if he shows up (or anyone with that last name) in the index?  I'm not looking for someone to necessarily track down his will, but I am hoping for some clue as to when and where to look.  An index would help with that.   Could someone help me out?   Thanks so much!   Brian
