We can preview it with their image viewer, watermarked images.
Does it say that one of the residual legatees is son Jno Richard Champion?

What did this piece that we could not see actually say.   It did look from the image that something had been added in front of Richard Champion

It says Jno.

This is a look up thread, so I cannot attach a screenshot.

Thank you Mckha489  .   

Thanks to all for replies, much appreciated. I downloaded the wills and did much deciphering and cross checking ,but did,t find any reference or clues to John Richard Champion.   

Did you miss that ab. 

[mckha489]

The wife is Ann,
A daughter Hannah, and a son Jno Richard

Thank you so much, I completely missed the "John" before Richard. I had actually downloaded long and hard to read wills. so am so grateful for all for directing me to this
