Ambrose's will, dated January 18, 1753, proved February 22, 1753, named four children, Joseph, Dorothy, Sarah, and "that which my wife is now with child."This would suggest that William was not yet born at the time of the will.
Ambrose's executors were wife Elizabeth Bohannon, Abraham Iveson, John Matthews, and Richard Gregory (Elizabeth's brother).
