I found a Sussex, Delaware will for a "Solomon Townsend, Sr." but it has a 1773 proving date, way before 1793. Could a 7 have been mistaken for a 9 at some point?

Will mentions: sons Jesse, William, Solomon, Luke, Jacob, daughters Phoebe Morris, Abigail Carlisle. then a codicil recognizing death of son Solomon and adjusting bequests.
