Hope there is someone out there who can help us find PATRICK O'BRYAN (with numerous spellings, of course) and ZU LU LONGACRE. There is an index of Wills for Augusta County, VA, showing a Patrick O'Brian, but the Probate Office said that it may have been presented, but not probated, and, therefore, they would not have a copy. There is also a Will for Patrick O'Brian in Buckingham County, VA, but they said their records burned. HELP!
