> In her Will, Dorothy Greenwell mentions the following individuals:
> 1) her niece, Dorothy Greenwell;
> 2) her niece, Ann Greenwell;
> 3) her niece, Susanna Greenwell;
> 4) her nephew, Gustavus Greenwell;
> 5) Ally Greenwell (probably Ally Smith who married William Greenwell
> (borther of the Dorothy Greenwell whose Will this is/was));
> 6) her brother, Edmund B. Greenwell;
> 7) Her ("younger") brother, Joshua Greenwell.
>
> The witnesses to the Will of Dorothy Greenwell were William Greenwell

> Gustavus Greenwell (above--nephew of Dorothy Greenwell (d. 18723-24))
