Will of Roger Nelson of Bern, Albany Co., New York, 1832, - sons Mephibosheth & Carpenter


Submitted by Lisa Wolgast Gerald. Please note - this is from a fair to poor quality print from microfilm of the handwritten, recorded will in an Albany Co. Will Book. I believe this Roger is probably the son of Mephibosheth -3 (Francis -2, John -1).
