David,

it looks like your Cd # 519 version of will has destroyd the name of children

Eleanor Bray now has been changed to Elinor Gray which is totally wrong, and Walter Seslee ( hus. of dau. Sarah).

has been destroyed as well should be Mathew Cissell not Walter Seslee.

This is a good example of someone not being careful in transcribing records.
