Does anyone have info about James Grice whose will is given below? Could this be James Grice who married "Luarky" Jackson. Was "Luarky" a nickname for Mary? Luaarky had a daughter Jane who married a Fladger. Thomas Evans witnessed this will for James Grice. Is that the Thomas Evans, who is the son of Edith Godbold and Nathaniel Evans? My Evans and Grice families were in Marion County, S.C. I would be grateful for any info to help me with these people.
