Subject: [WINN-L] Will of John Wynn, 1846

This is in response to a query from Laura, but might be of interest to others
as well.

The following is the Will of John Wynn from microfilm GS#961023 (Family
History Center, Salt Lake City), Wills of Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania,
File #207, Book 4, page 157, 21 July 1849.

You will note that there is a slight difference in the names of two of his
children from those given in the Floyd's book on Northumberland County.
Since this was written while John Wynn was still alive I give more credence
to these in the will.
Floyd's-1911 Will-1846
Byram Abram
Annais Annanias

It appears that Abram must have been living away from Northumberland County
in 1846.
