  1. Does anyone have a copy of William Ryder's will dated 13 March 1789, probated February 1796? Does he mention his wife Abigail or has she died?

  2. You may view a copy of the will through Ancestry.com, in their Massachusetts Wills and Probate Records collection. He does mention his wife Abigail, and makes bequests to her, so she is living at that time.
