• Notes

  According to Volume B, page 62 of Abstracts of Wills and Administrations of Franklin County Registered at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, Honora's father may have been Thomas Timmons, farmer, of Franklin County. Thomas' will, dated February 15, 179798 and proved June 14, 1798 doesn't mention Honora as a daughter, but it does mention James Fegan as one of the witnesses to the will. If James was Thomas' son-in-law, this makes sense. The way the will is worded, it coule be interpreted to mean that Thomas' wife Christina was a second wife and, thus, not the mother of Honora. What makes me believe this may be so are the words, "Beloved wife Christina my plantation for a support for her and her 3 children [as opposed to OUR 3 three children, as though, perhaps these were children from her earlier marriage?]..." I think this would explain why the children named are Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, Catherine and Matthew and why he says the plantation will remain with Christina and HER cchildren until the youngest of them turns 15, then, "the farm to be sold and proceeds divided among ALL my children." (My emphasis). Perhaps this meant the farm would remain with Christina and her children until her youngest was 15, then, at such time, the farm would be sold and the proceeds would be distributed to Christina's AND Thomas' children, which would include Honora.
