    John and _______ Ashcraft per Stonington V.R.  In his will dated at  Hebron
    April 4, 1745 he says, "being listed to go upon a dangerous  expedition to an
    enemies land, have thought good to make this my last will  and testament." 
    (Ashcraft mms)  The will named children (of first wife)  as Abigail, John,
    Jedediah, and Desire, along with wife Mary and her  children Anne, Samuel, and
