Wit: William Fairfax; Elizabeth Fairfax; Georges Dunnington. The probate was taken in the presence of James Warder, heir at law and he did not object."

Comment: As William specifically mentions his 2 grandsons, James and Henry Warder, it is very possible their father, William's son Unknown First Name, was dead in 1773 when William wrote this will. Generally this was done to give the fatherless grandsons a head start in the world.
