Still more to come.

Dear Michael you will be spending a lot of time this weekend typing in wills. Just listing the ones who do not have.
1. Andrew MacKay Sr. will (son of Robert Jr.)
2. Robert S. McKay's will I could not copy the reader can view it on Warren Co. VA Wills on microfilm.
3. Bettie E. McKay--very short will
4. Estelle Laws McKay--very short will
5. Enos McKay--long
6. Jacob McKay Sr.--our line
7. Jacob McKay III--our line
8. Joshua A. McKay
9. Joseph McKay--long
10. John W. McKay
11. Job McKay
above above from Robert MacKay Jr. line
12. Logan Job
13. Reuben Job
14. James MacKay Sr.
15. Floyd McKay (he was the wive of McKay descendant Lucinda Vaughan, I have not found evidence to link him with our McKay).
16. George McKay
17. Leah Leeth (daughter of Robert Sr.)
18. Caleb Jobe, xerox of original will, good luck read that one.
19. Abraham Jobe, xerxo of original will, good luck read that one.
There are a few letters and comments in full by the late Hunter Branson McKay in the book.
I placed copies of the early Quaker marriage records in the book, because they can give us a lot of information about a particular family group. You will most likely want to wait to transfer those after your update your system.

I'll eventually get all of the wills up on-line.
I'm not sure if I'll get them all this weekend but I'll type in data here and there and eventually they'll be up.
As far as those that I'll have to read from handwriting they will take the longest. I took awhile getting Robert Sr.'s up because I was looking at a xerox of his handwritten will.
However, I did find where I made a file earlier where I typed up the will so I used that and got it up on-line. It still needs work because there were some parts of it that I didn't read right and also mistakes I may have made.
I will at least get pages set up for them so people will know that they are coming.
With regards to scanning the Quaker marriage records I will have to wait until my computer programs get upgraded before I consider doing that. I'm not sure when that will be. If I'm able to do it I'll have to create another subsection for those.
Trying to keep everything neat and orderly so it will be easy to follow.

I'll add it to the list of wills to put in when I get it.
Right now I'm working on re-doing the lines of descent so that people will know how every one is connected.
I'm doing an outline form of each of the families. A breif sketch tracing out the lines of those whose wills I have and also those whose pictures I have. I want it to be interactive so that the reader can click on one link and it will take him/her to the exact point where it will be found.
