Hello Readers,

This is only a partial transcription of the will of James Nesbitt Esq. I am 
still deciphering it. However, I am hoping that anyone reading what I have so 
far, can locate names of others listed. Thinking that the friends listed in 
this will might have descendents who can still give me knowledge of this man 
this particular family.

Some surnames listed in the will are Twitty, McClintock, Casey, Rogers, 
Farmer(?). Maybe someone can help me get pointed into an even more helpful 
direction.

THERE IS HISTORY IN OUR ROOTS!!!!

Sincerely,
G. Moore
