I just want to take a moment to thank you for posting all this info! In the
last two lists of wills from Grayson Co, I have found the abstracts for two of
my ancestors, Phillip Beamer and Richard Lundy. (I didn't even know Richard's
name before, but I recognize his daughter, Rhoda Beamer in the abstract)
Thanks so much for all your work!
