Thanks, Martin. It would be a good idea, except I have only an Adobe
Reader -- not a full Acrobat that will allow me to copy the document.
Yes, the British National Archives online had the will of Christopher
Stokes, Clothier of Castle Eaton, Wiltshire 18 July 1566, and I did
manage to print out the document. [Where's Castle Eaton?]
I realize now, though, that my enthusiasm was premature. I've been
searching for the will of the Christopher Stokes who married Prudence
Ivy and was the father of (2nd son) the Christopher Stokes who
discovered America via Virginia. But 'my' Christopher has what passes
for a birth record in Tytherton Lucas, Wiltshire, in 1578 -- so it's
unlikely his father was writing a will in 1566. The will I obtained
must be one of the other Christophers in another of the Wiltshire
lines.
So it's back to the drawing board.
With many thanks to you and the others who so kindly offered help with
this project. I'll certainly use those ideas someday when I *DO*
finally find the right will.
Thanks again,
Carol Stokes
