MISC. CORNISH WILL AND ADMINISTRATION ABSTRACTS  (part 5)

1589 through 1869

I have abstracted all of the following wills with these exceptions--the wills marked with an asterick * are courtesy of Ray Glasson from the Glasson Archive. I have tried to be as accurate as possible, but some of the wills are hard to read, and I may have made mistakes. If you see a will that you need for documentation of one of your lines, you should obtain a copy of the original. See my Cornish Probate Guide for help on this
