I live in St. Augustine so we will travel back and forth to New England from where my husband came.If you have any clues as to where I might look, I'd be happy to try to do the research as I can.Have you ever received any information from Rusty Walston in Texas?He sent me some family group sheets which I have just relocated and at which I'm looking.I was mistaken about the will which Rusty says was in the possesion of his grandfather Y.B. (for Youngbird) but which disappeared during a family reunion.According the sheet where I'm looking, Risdon was possibly the first Walston in this country and the will I mentioned was dated 1676 in Green Lee, Scotland and for a Henry Walston.The names Henry, William and Joshua repeat fairly regularly on these sheets but I have no idea as to their accuracy.I'd be happy to scan these sheets to send to yo if you like and I'm considering securing the documents from DAR for the William Walstons to see what proofs may be available. The DAR record for one William says he was born in England and I'd like to see how that's documented.I may also spend a little at Scotland's People if I can find a mention of this will of Henry's.I'll keep you posted and am willing to do whatever I can to help both of us.Nancy
