Research Tip - Left Out of the Will?

Not being mentioned in a father's will does not mean your ancestor was deceased or disowned by his father. Check the deeds to see if land or other property had been conveyed to your ancestor before his father's death.   Also, a father would often convey property at the time of the child's marriage.
