Judith and List,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had another apparently incomplete
version of this will and this has helped tremendously.

Aside from finding the maiden name of Timothy Bowes' wife, I now show
Susanna Abell married William Heard, brother of Elizabeth Heard who married
Susanna's brother, John Barton Abell. William and Elizabeth Heard were the
children of Mark Heard and Susanna Shercliffe.

One other question remains. Who was the wife of Samuel Abell? I know that
Ms. Donnelly says that she was Susanna Spalding, but I find no proof. The
Susanna Spalding being claimed was the daughter of Thomas Spalding and
Catherine Cooper. I believe that she married Edward Abell, not Samuel
Abell. Whoever she married, she was deceased by the time of her mother's
will in 1775 who devised "to the several children of my daughter, Susanna
Abell, 1 shilling." Edward Abell then married Anastasia Taylor, November
07, 1778.

Thomas Spalding and Catherine Cooper's children were born in the late 1720's
through possibly the 1740's, too late for a daughter to have married Samuel
Abell as he and his wife were having children themselves in the 1740's.
Neither Thomas Spalding or Catherine (Cooper) Spalding named their
son-in-law or Abell grandchildren. Maddening.
