    Hello Recently I received from the archives at Canandaigua the probate records of Zebulon Mack.They are quite interesting and were administered by Jonathan Mack.They list his (Zeb's)brother Gurdon Mack 1/4 part of land he gave to Jonathan his son,Zeb's brother Benjamin deceased, his children William,Ben Jr. and Sally each recieve 1/6 of 1/4 part,Zeb's sister Hannah Austin,1/4 part.Also listed for 1/6 part are Marvin Van Orman and John Van Orman I think are children of John T. and Nellie Mack Van Orman.Later in 1841 there is a settlement with my grgr grandmother Sarah Munson Davis her brothers Gorham and Renselear Munson, the two daughters of Asahel Mack deceased son of Zeb, Nellie and Louisa then Dencey and James Riley Van Norman .I have another deed ordered that will I hope have a parent for the Munsons. I also copied the pension applications for Zeb and Gurdon Mack and Gurdon gives his birth in 1757.Thanks JoAnn
