      Your listing of Mary Manning m Ignatius Mills is correct.

      These were families from St. Mary'sCounty, Md and Charles County, Md who went to Kentucky and settled in Nelson County/Washington County.

      Let me know if you have specific families who you are looking for and I will see if I can help. Thanks.

The photocopy was good and the writing legible. I made no corrections of any kind. The phrase "calling to mind the mortality of my body" was repeated as was the Item 6th Levy Mills may be Leoy Mills..
