Research Notes

No Child Called Deborah!

Please note that the transcript (abstract) of the will provided by Richard Williams^[3] and referred to (but has been corrected) in the text above contains a transcription error Blanche’s daughter who married John Worry was named Patience not Deborah. The genealogy by Grant Samuel Youmans contains the same error and is presumably the source of the mistake.
