Towards the bottom is a list of poeple who bought things at this estate sell. Many of them are from Schuyler County including my direct line ancestor, Robert Aten. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [ILLINOIS] Names from estate papers Date: Tue, 9 Feb 1999 18:59:57 +0100 From: Carolyn Atkinson <catkinsn@ECITY.NET> Reply-To: catkinsn@ecity.net To: ILLINOIS-ROOTS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU Hi, I LOVE estate papers from IL. Really dig into what was sold at the estate. Take great care in collecting the names of those who purchased items at the estate auction, especially the land sales. Tradition was that first choices always went to the immediate family and then extended family before anyone else purchased anything. Land was usually purchased by family also. In one important link in my direct ancestry, that was MY CLUE!! My William Hays purchased a wooden barrel for $2! In the estate papers I received from the county in Fulton, they NEGLECTED TO send me ONE page. The disbursement. So when I did not see my William in any of the papers they sent me originally, I dismisssed this family. However, as I learned more in research, I went back and looked again, and with more knowledge, I saw the names of those I knew as son in laws and cousins names. So I went back and did more checking with census and such. I also made a contact that went and looked at the microfilm records, and sure enough, there was a disbursement paper, and the courthouse had neglected to microfilm it! My William Hays was on it, and thus I gained another set of grandparents. Now if I could ONLY find a WILLIAMS family who had a daughter Julia Ann Williams Hays who died and left 4 children, Emaline, Almira, Lamira and Thomas J Hays! Julia was married to William Hays. As for the estate sale, I have connected almost every name on it to my family some way or another. So just in case, here they are--- FULTON CO, VERMONT TWP, IL sale bill in the estate of James Hays, deceased filed this 15th day of March 1867. approved March 22/1867, recorded in book C page 279.
