- Harry Enoch advises on June 22, 2014 that:
"John Gass, son of Henry Gass," left a will in Clark County (WB 4:46, probated in 1816) naming Ellenor Robinson, Rachel, Polly, Ruth, Rebecca, Ann, James and Jane Gass; he states that all of these legatees are children of his brother James Gass.
I list it here for information and for future follow up. (Note to File - JP Rhein)
