Dear List members:
From the Will Record Book 1816-1826 in the Paoli County Clerk's Office,
I have a copy of a will made by a Francis Wood on 11 September 1827.
My Ragle family lived in Orange Co. from some time before 1825 to about
1835.
Francis Wood was clearly connected in some way with my family, as s/he
mentions several of my direct line ancestors in the will, but I have not
been able to find any additional records on this person. Those mentioned
are various Ragle and Parrot/Parrott/Perrott persons. The 'James Parrot'
who witnessed the will may be the second husband of my 3x GGM Susannah
Ritchey Ragle Parrott Watt.
Any information on either Francis Wood or James Parrot would be most
welcome. The latter must have died before 1830, as Susannah Parrott is
listed in the Orange Co. US Federal Census for 1830 as a widow, head of
household.
Thank you,
John Ragle
