I am still looking for early Dunham family connections so am taking a
new tact.  In 1699 Purchase Spry widow of Henry Spry was executor of
his estate.  Purchase Spry married a Hendircks, I believe it to be
Tiimothy.  She died around 1737 and left a will, which is now lost,
naming in the will the Wiltown Presybeterian Church.  Timothy
Hendricks also names the church in his now lost will.

William Hendricks is listed as heir at law for Timothy Hendricks.  In
1746 William transfered to the Wiltown Church slaves that Timothy
Hendricks left to the church.   May I assume that William is Timothy's
son?

Purchase () Spry Hendricks was the mother of Royall Spry who died
around 1760 and the mother of Purchase Berry the wife of James Berry.
Was she the mother of William Hendricks?

The next Hendricks name that shows up in the records of Willtown is
Daniel Hendircks.  Was Daniel another son of Purchase and Timothy?  In
a deed dated 1755 James Hendrick is selling land left him by is uncle
Royal Spry.  This land was once the property of Daniel Hendricks the
father of James.

In 1749 Joseph Spry and his sister Martha Reilly are suing James
Hendricks and William Donnom and Wife Mary as representatives of
Daniel Hendricks.  The Sprys are also suing Thomas Sacherville the
executor of Royall Spry's will.  Is Mary wife of William Donnom the
daughter of Daniel Hendricks?  Are Joseph and Martha children or
grandchildren of Royal Spry?

Thanks for any help.
