McMechen Ohio Co WV
I am researching the McMechen family of Ohio co WV.
My ancestor Mary McMechen married James Williamson in Belmont co OH. in 1805. I have seen a Davidson genealogy that has a transcript of James McMechens will naming Polly Williamson, however when I actually looked up the typed copy of the will filed in Ohio co 1824 (proved date) Polly is not named at all. Does anyone know if this is a transcript error? Has anyone ever seen the original copy of James McMechens will?
The typed copy in the will books does not match the transcription in the Davidson genealogy papers.
The one in the will book is a little confusing as it states that Sally Williamson is to receive 10 acres plus a share of the remainder with her sisters Rachel and Elizabeth. Then it says daughter Sally Williamson has been provided for before and receives nothing further of the estate (this applied to daughter Jane as well).
It appears that it is perhaps a transcription error??
Can anyone help?
