Can you explain why (context, kinship or mere mentions?) the people who are tagged as belonging in this source are included? (I can't read it, as I have difficulty reading cursive.) It would be useful to explain relationships that do not seem to be mentioned between Jane Gower (presumably, the primary person in the document: again, unexplained) on the profiles that I checked, and at least provide a comment on the profiles, if not an update to the profiles, for each of the tagged persons who are presumptively mentioned in the document. That would be a huge help! Thanks.

A transcript of the will is available on Jane's profile at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hatcher-51#Death_.26_Legacy. Priscilla (Baugh) Farrar is her daughter and I note the will mentioning Priscilla's children on her profile, which I manage. This includes William Farrar IV and Abel Farrar. Anyone is free to note this will on applicable profiles. I added Mary Cox to the image list and the will is noted on her profile.

Thanks very much. I first looked at William IV and Abel, and didn't see any mention/immediate connection or linkback to her profile. I finally surmised the connection after examining the deeper generations. The descendants who are named will greatly benefit from having the connection made clear as this is a primary source. I recommend the following, minor edit, that further explains the scope and power of the source:

Thanks again!

Further revised the recommended citation so that it takes the user directly to the intended archival page.
