I just found some information on line about my ancestor Frederick Hershfield/ Harshfield. He was from germany. Wife named Abulan. He died in Berkeley County. His will was proved 21 April 1778. Will Book 1, page 125. How would one get a copy of that will? Are there books showing if he owned land there? I am curious to know what part of Berkeley Co he resided in. How can I find that out? His son Henry was listed on ancestry.com as in the Rev War with Geo Washington at Valley Forge under the command of Capt Swansey. Notes say he left Berkeley Co VA in 1792. Why? Did they offer soldiers land in the "west?" thanks, pam
