I just posted a response to one of your other Vance threads and thought to add this... NOTE: Chester county PA will abstracts: HUSTON, WILLIAM. Written April 16, 1787. Proved June 20, 1789. Provides for wife Agnes. Two tracts of land in Chichester to sons William and Aaron, containing 121 and 127 acres, subject to legacies of 1/4 their appraised value to daughters Rebecca and Agnes Huston. To daughter Mary Bratten £3. To daughter Elizabeth Vance £3. To Sarah, daughter of son James, deceased, 1 dollar. Remainder to wife Agnes and 6 children, William, Aaron, Rebecca, Agnes, Mary and Elizabeth.Executors: Wife and sons William and Aaron. Wit: William Eyre, John Talbot, John Booth. So it would seem, from what everyone tells me, that Patrick Vance marr to 2nd Elizabeth Houston = bef this Will was written. Apparently Patrick's 1st wife (Sarah Taylor) died prior to his 2nd marriage. If that is the case then Sarah probably died in Cumberland>Franklin CO, PA. I am still trying to sort this family out.
