In Response To: Re: Tubman/Taubman ()

Brian Lawson's index has a will for:
MURREY, Margaret 1683/1 Bra A w 0106204.

It is included in Joyce M Oates's transcriptions of all Arch wills on film to 1699.
Ian Radcliffe is gradually adding them to his website.

It is very long - hope it will fit on this.
[The notes at the top are Joyce's summary and explanations.]
