One of my lines has a Richard Pratt with a spouse Richord, per IGI and other sources. Her PCC Will gives the true tale. She describes herself as "Richard Pratt, widow", and her daughters by surname, e.g. "my daughter Osmond". A collateral Pratt line was then nationally famous, Lords Chief Justice and becoming the Earls and Marquesses of Camden, so she most probably had pretensions to rural grandeur, styling herself and daughters by spouses surnames.
When faced with this about 8 years back, I punted, leaving "Richord" (as placeholder) and the IGI source in Legacy, ignoring the daughters but putting a reference to an external folder with the will copy and discussion. I'm now having to revisit this having recently connected to a cousin needing the whole line, and it's not obvious how to proceed. "Richord" is obviously mistranscribed from Richard, so that needs correction. I have neither given or surname for her. For her daughters, I have no given names, but reasonably reliably their spouse's surnames. For their spouses, I have only their presumed surnames. Any guesses as to the best way of entering this into Legacy, given that my new cousin will probably propagate it into LDS and/or Ancestry?
