Abraham's son David says in a deed that on 7 Aug 1832, he auctioned all of Abe's Bryan Co. real estate. His father could have been incapacitated and David took over his affairs, including the mail notices. But my hunch would be 1830 ... probate often took a long time. At least we know that Abe probably died between July 1830 and Aug. 1832. -----Original Message----- From: susan wilson <[email protected]> >This is quite interesting, Margie.
