[Caleb Hicks.ged]
I may have two generations of Williams combined here!!! William, son of Thomas, definitely had a daughter, Mary, who is mentioned in Thomas's will as "my grandaughter Mary, daughter of my son William." Note that the William to whom this will belongs 1) does not mention a daughter Mary, (possibly this daughter, Mary, died young?) and 2) evidently lived a very long life from abt 1670 to 1766 if he is the son of Thomas . (Of course Thomas lived 100 years so it could be true.)
