Will of David Bradford, Mecklenburg County, NC - 7 May 1779 (abstract)

After 17 years of searching for a will for David Bradford, I finally found an abstract of it (not the original....yet!). I've seen death dates for him ranging from 1750 to 1810.Now we can finally pin it down! Below is the abstract I found.
