Can anyone tell me how I might go about finding out what happened to the land my ancestor was living on in the 1860 census?? My ggg-grandfather Joshua MOODY and his wife Joanna DAVIS MOODY and family were living in Independence Co. in the White River Township. The Post Office was Sulpher Rock. I think Joshua and Joanna MOODY died between 1861 and 1870. This is the last known place I have for them. I am hoping I might be able to find out if the land was sold or went through probate or if taxes were paid on it or something. Does anyone know what the general procedure was when the land owners died and there was not a Will??? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Jeannia (p.s. I do not live in AR)
