You must not "catch on" too quickly, or be awfully bored, if you'll read the same post 20+ times.......! ( I AM kidding!) S. this is a little earlier than you specified, but I'll send it, just in case; Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 CHRISTY, JOHN, Milford. April 30, 1781/17 October 1781. Wife Agness. Sons David and William, minors. Dau. Sarah, a minor. William McClure, Sherman's Valley. Exs.: bro. William Christy and John Williams. Wit: John Kerr, John Orr, Hugh Magill. D. 57-8. (there were no mentions with the surname Cristy, and nothing for the other Chrisy given names) I could not possibly give all the references toa John & David Thomases...there are incredibly common Welsh names, and appear as witnesses, ex. etc probably 100 times, each, in several different counties...there were also several wills of Johns and Davids, in earlier time periods. Another problem is that the CD gives you all docs. that contain the 2 names you list, i.e. John Thomas, if they appear within 2 names of eachother, so I also sot all the wills that had, for example ..."leave to my sons John, Thomas and Rupert"...LOTS of reading through for me........so, I sent a few that might be of interest. the father's will of a John Thomas; Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 THOMAS, LEWIS. Darby. February 16, 1761. March 3, 1761. To son John Thomas £60. To my 3 other sons Nathan, Lewis and Isaac £60 at 21. To daughter Mary £40 at 21 or marriage, also household goods. Remainder equally divided. Executors: Cousin John Thomas of Blockley and Abraham Johnson of Darby. Witnesses: John Sellers, William Garrett, John Hayes. this is a little early; Pennsylvania Wills, 1682-1834 THOMAS, DAVID. Newtown. January 24, 1781. May 1, 1789. Letters May 31. Provides for wife [not named]. To son David Thomas plantation in Newtown where I now live, containing about 147 acres, also stock, etc. To daughter Julian £50 specie. To daughters Rebecca, Margaret, Elizabeth and Jane £50, etc. each. To grandson Zaddock Laferdy £100 specie at 21. To son David 150 acres off the easterly corner of my land in W. Nantmeal, paying certain legacies. To son Uriah remainder of tract in W. Nantmeal at 19. Executors: Wife and son David. Sons-in-law Hazael Thomas and Jeremiah Jerman to assist them.
