I was going over the response you made earlier to confirm the connections of Daniel Kermod-Ann (Fargher) Kermode and William-Cath (Quay) Kermode.
With respect to your 2nd last paragraph (re-itererated);
"Going backwards from James Kermode, he was son of Daniel Kermod who died 1724 with a will that only mentions a daughter Cath as exec'x. Wife of Dan'l was Ann Fargher who died 1699 (will not seen). William Kermod who died 1722 is also the son of Daniel but he predeceased him. This is Lois's ancestor and a marriage contract of him to Catharine Quay 1707 confirms the connection of Dan'l.
The will of Cathrine Kermott 1740 mentions Cath Cowin als Quay, Jane Skillicorn, Joney Skillicorn, William Kermott her brother's son, and her brother James Kermott. Cath Cowin als Quay is her brother William's widow; she married Nicholas Cowin after Wm died."

Overall I agree that the pieces fit. The will for William Kermod d. 1722 (your transcription June 2008) says he died 24 May 1722. His wife (Cath (Quay) Kermode was re-married to Nicholas Cowin. However, according to MNB the marriage between Cath & Nicholas occurred on 19 Feb 1722 BEFORE WILLIAM's DEATH) Is it possible that William's wife Cath remarried before he died, or is there some other explanation (e.g. the marriage date is wrong?).

Also the 1722 will seems to differentiate between "his" and "her" children (e.g. he bequeaths to "her sons John & Tho: seven shillings apiece"), suggesting that Cath (Quay) Kermode may have had children before she married William, or perhaps I'm reading too much into the transcription.
Any thoughts?
