Power of Alice Hardy, A her mark, of the Isle of Wight County, to her son-in-law Wm Mayo. 1680

[20131203 cos1776 Note: abstracts verified correct BUT others claim that William Mayo is also called "son in law" in the actual Will. Needs follow-up with original document if possible. Current theory is that both Robert Burnett and William Mayo were married to daughters from Alice's previous marriage to Arthur Allen making them actually "step-sons-in-law".]
