This will is the real deal, as are the estate records that are part of it.I think it calls into question whether John Lattimore of Prince William Co, VA was actually the grandfather of Capt. John Lattimore of Albemarle Co, VA, as has been widely published based on the research of Charles Elliott.The fact is that the children and grandchildren of John of PW Co are cared for in the estate settlement, yet Capt. John doesn't seem to fit into that story.The estate records state that John of PW Co had a son, John, who predeceased his father and died without heirs.That would seem to disprove the Elliott hypothesis, and unfortunately leaves us not knowingCapt John Lattimore's lineage.There were Lattimores in the Northern Neck of VA that could fit into the tree, but I have not really looked for proof that might connect them to Capt. John.
