NOTE: The Judey Walker Will - typed version (below) has been altered to substantiate a connecion to the Lankford / Langford family of New Kent.
You can find this typed & altered version frequently on the internet
The photo-copy shows of the Parish of { blank } in the County of Lunenburg
The typed - "Parish of New Kent & James City County in the County of Lunenburg"
Also her death date should read BEFORE 7 Apr 1752 as that was the date of probate of this will.
{1}What is the "prrof" that Judey Walker is the daughter of John Lankford??
{2} I guess she didn't care for the CARGILL name as her will is Judey Walker. OR COULD it be another Judey married the Cargill person.
