Hello!

Recently I posted some data on the will of Rachel Norman and within the
last few days, someone else posted some data regarding the will.

I believe this to be the will of Rachel Norman's husband:

Nehemiah Norman of Tyrrell Co., NC; 21 Aug 1730; Devisees include wife
Rachael Norman dau. Ann Phelps, and Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary, Amelia, and
Rachael Norman; sons Henry, Nehemiah, Nathan, and Charles Norman; Exec.
Rachael, Henry and Nehemiah Norman. Witness - John Norman, Sr., Roger
Snell and John Jones. Will Bk 1, pg 150

The above Nehemiah, son of Nehemiah and Rachael, married Ann Freeman,
December 25, 1790, Tyrell County, NC. Some of the children went to
Washington County, NC, but I do not have that list before me at present.

Here is that whole page, scanned. I have tried to remove artifacts, but
have not changed spellings of names.

These will records were sent to me by Mr. M. D. Norman of Windsor, VA.
Notations by me will have an asterisk and will be in parentheses.
