LOL ! This is the 1698 will you have below. Their son: (3) Col.Edwin Conway (III) that married Anne Ball , daughter of Joseph Ball and Elizabeth Romney.. this line leads to the parents of George Washington.< OK, I have this: 1) Edwin Conway, Seniorest... 1610-1675 m. Martha Eltonhead before 1640 2) Edwin Conway b. est 1638 - Aug 1698 m1. 1680 Sarah Fleete m2 1695(I have) Elizabeth Thompson 3) Edwin Conway 1681-1763 m1 1704 Anne Ball m2 Ann Hack In this 1698 Will 3EdwinConway would be single & only abt 17, yes? So it wouldn't be him his father is referring to in the very last Item of the Will, would it? Is there a 2&1/2:)Edwin Conway who would be of age to assume this responsibility or is that the transcriber's/printer's error & he/she meant to say Mr. Edwin THACKER twice. (2Edwin's mentioned Henry & Edwin THACKER earlier in the Item abt selling the tobacco in England for his unborn child.) Last Item: Item, I nominate and appoint my trusty friends and kinsmen Mr. Andrew Jackson, Mr. Samuel Fox, Mr. Henry Thacker and Mr. EDWIN CONWAY, to bee overseers of this my last will and testament, Desiring my sd overseers, to carefully advise and instruct my children by my first wife, in their persons and estates. And to bee assistant to their power, to my dear wife Elizabeth. And if it should please God, to take away my dear wife during her childrens minority, then I commit their care and tuition of them, and their estates, to my saide kinsmen Mr. Henry Thacker, and Mr. EDWIN THACKER, for witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal, this nineteenth day of March, in ye year of Our Lord God One Thousand Six Hundred, Ninety and Eight.
