Jacob's Will dated 17 Apr 1722, proved 4 May 1722. Jacob appointed his wife May and father-in-law James Jackson as executors. Nathaniel Townsend, Mary's future 2nd husband, was withness to Jacob's Will. Wonder if he may have promised to take care of Mary and her two small children? (Nathaniel was an active Quaker.)
