MISC. CORNISH WILL AND ADMINISTRATION ABSTRACTS  (part 7)

1636 through 1789

I have abstracted all of the following wills with three exceptions-- those three are credited with the abstract below. 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. **The will of John Carnsew of Crowan, a duplicate from part 4, has been replaced by the will of Jane Carnsew of Crowan, thanks to Stephanie Hocking.
