I'd Wills Of Sussex Are Unique Il
When Morgan Williams. resident n
( near SeafOrd, executed his will
n October 1st, 1725. and filed for Il
rebate in the office of the Register q
{ Wills of Sussex County, he in Z
ended that his widow should not
D a lot of drudgery about the house n
nd farm, but desired that she have Il
lenty of help, at least about the n
ONE. Williams in one part of his
ill stated: 81 leave sixty pounds Z
lrrent money at Philadelphia, to o.

nd child. or children, or else in two n
1ung negro wenches to be pur-
lased within a year or as soon as 4
ley can be, to remain in the hands y
my loving wife, Sarah, till my son
organ comes to the age of twenty CT

.at williams had that amount of M
oney in Philadelphia, or he might II

Most of the old records of Sussex arr
