Warren County, NC - Will: Joseph Renn (sometimes spelled Wren), 1833 |
||||||||||
| In this will, Joseph Renn mentions the date as being 1733, but it is signed and dated as 1833 so I'm not sure if this was simply a spelling error on his part or if he was unsure of the date when he was writing. I'm not sure why he lists the date as 1733 when it was, in fact, 1833. | ||||||||||
