Abstract of 1770 Will of Duncan Campble of Minefords Island in Pelham
Regular readers of the Historic Pelham Blog know that I have collected
wills and abstracts of wills of early residents of Pelham. I also have
posted an index to such postings. See Thursday, March 29, 2007:
Index to Transcripts of Wills and Abstracts of Wills Prepared by Early
Pelham Residents.
Today's posting to the Historic Pelham Blog provides an abstract of the
will of Duncan Campble of Minefords Island (now known as City Island),
then part of Pelham. The abstract appears below, followed by a citation to
its source.
"ABSTRACTS OF WILLS - LIBER 38. . . .
Page 56. - I, DUNCAN CAMPBLE, of Minford's Island, Westchester County,
Manor of Pelham, 'being well in helth and perfectly in my sences.' To wife
Elloner all estate so long as my widow, at her death or remarriage estate
to devolve to all my sons and daughters (not named).
Executors, wife, and my two sons, Walter and James.
