I found this will particularly interesting although I can't place the
people involved in the will. I do have some interesting sidelights which
I will post and maybe someone will see something.

First it's interesting to note that there is a James Graham mentioned.
There were Grahams involved with Moses Wray who died c. 1801 in Franklin
Co., VA.

Second, I have several Kelsos from various lines some (or most) of which
could have been in or near that area.

A Kelso in this line. The Saylors came from Shenandoah Co., VA.
