Good PM LE; On your post of Sep 17-07 you asked if anyone had a copy of the will of Valentine FREY who died 14 Apr 1814 in Stokes Co, NC. Here is a copy of the will I have?
I also have a lot more info concerning the FREY family. Where do you fit in the FREY tree? & where do you live? Also due to a time problem I have, I want to get back to you later about a puzzling question I have concerning the 3 valentine's I have. Redneck Joe in AZ
