If you have a useful reference, you are welcom to add it...but we want to keep the focus on works of broad general interest, rather than highly specific records sources. We've included the Chester County Wills document primarily because of its importance with respect to our ancstors time on the Nottingham Lots (1726 to 1738), it being a source for the only known record of a Wigton Walker in this area.
