Hi James! That is very kind of you to offer the 'Will' & I would be more than happy to receive it! Basically, I only started on the FERGUSON ancestry just before Christmas. I knew all about my HATCHER ancestry for years, but I did not know anything about his wife, Miriam WILLIS' ancestry, at all. Never learned who her WILLIS father was, but learned that her mother was Sally/Sarah FERGUSON [because that marriage was not recorded, a d/o George FERGUSON & Polly/Mary CRUMP. A Sally WILLIS m. Sally FERGUSON's brother, John FERGUSON, & so many have those two ladies confused within their genealogy. I have just been trying to find the rest of the families because they would connect. There was several Skelton RICHARDSON in other States in the early days, but I, as I previously stated, would have no idea if I had the correct one or not unless I located him in 1850. Then I get the message of Naomi marrying someone else by 1825, after Skelton died or disappeared, & I have no idea if they had any children. Do you know? Have a Very Good Day & Thanks!
