Jacob and Amy Doughty
Where did this Jacob Doughty and Amy Doughty go?When did they die?Who were their children? I can't say I have been able to understand all the relationships mentioned but hope someone can help.This is not the entire Will but is the info I thought needed. Are the Stevenson's connected to Buck Co, PA?Any help would be appreciated
