Sandra, Even though I did not ask...in your response you listed the will of my 9G Grandmother Elizabeth Paggott Newlin.. I hope this is not a redundant question- There are two dates at the beginning of the paragraph. One is August 18, 1714, and the second is February 10, 1717. I assume that the first date is the date of the will and the second date is the death date. A. 48 represents age? Is this at the time the will was drawn up or death? Thank you for the bonus! You are wealth of information as aways. Paula Lewis Picken LEWIS, WARREN, CRUTTENDEN, NEWLIN, MENDENHALL, LANDIS, EMMICK, WOODWARD, SHARPLESS, IDDINGS, DUFFY, SNOVER, INGERSOLL
