16 Jun 1721 - Event
Samuel Durbin Mentioned in the will of Testator, William Holland, as a witness.
"Maryland Wills and Probate Records, 1604-1878"

Thomas Durbin is also mentioned.  The question is - which Thomas Durbin is he referring?  I've posted more thoughts on this on the "Temp Editing" page.
