Dear Tim, I really need a will for Mary Riley (Reilly) Boss who is listed in the 1870 LaSalle Co., IL census on page 727 line 37. She was born in Ireland in ca 1812 and in 1870 was caring for a niece, Jane Riley (on same census). Is it possible to locate her will? I know she had one because in it she repaid her brother money he'd given her husband. Think husband, John Boss, also bn Ireland may have pre-deceased her, but perhaps not. Don't know when she died. I know this is a really awful job to ask anyone to do but the Jane was lost to our family for a long time and I'm trying to fill the holes for all my cousins. If you can find any clues about this woman, Mary Boss, I'll be really grateful. Thank you for offering to help.
