1st page of will-- the following notes & the transcription are the same for both citations. Henry Smith's will in the York County, South Carolina archives names wife, Amy, his sons: Abraham, David, John, Henry, Jonathan, William and mentions daughters married and single--Sarah Ramsay is mentioned by name. There is a grandson Henry Jolley who was given his mother's cows. Because Henry mentions twice "daughters, married and single", then he must have had at least 3 daughters, because at least two were married. Henry probably died about 1793- document provided by Guy R. Smith--see actual text & images in 2 citations-- the will is 2 pages long
