____________________________________________________
(Note from Contributor:
In the case of the will abstracts, the first date is when the
will was written, and the second date is generally when it
was proven. Before 1752, March 25th (Feast of the
Annunciation) was the first day of the new year by traditional
acceptance of the ecclesiastical calendar. When the Gregorian
calendar was adopted double dates were used from January
lst until March 25th. In some case, the dates are followed
by the Will Book letter and page number.
I know nothing further on any person mentioned in any of
the abstracts or administrations. -- Thera)
