PATE, SNOW -
I am trying to find out if there is someone I can contact to get a lookup on an actual will. I have seen two transcribed records that vary for a will of John Pate, Bedford County Will book 1. One says it is on page 57. I am trying to find out the actual name of Frost Snow who was a witness. One just says Frost Snow, the other says Frost E. Snow. I am trying to find out if the "E" was actually listed or if it was a "&", or "And", etc.

George B. Austin, and Jane Penn White Austin, were my great-great- grandparents, but I've not been able to find much information about them. They appear in the 1850 Bedford Co. census (Northern Division); in the 1870 Bedford Co. census (Otter Twp.); and in the 1880 Bedford Co. census (Lisbon). George was a miller. I would appreciate any help I can get in filling in the gaps.
