Hi - I got this through the Saline Co. mail list. Wouldn't it be great if those who post would put dates along with the names? I have my Hinton/Henton family who was in Woodford County in 1790s (they still own the same land today). They married into the Sisk family and moved to Henry County by 1820 and to Saline County, MO by 1838. MY Hinton moved to California in 1860 so I have lots of places to research. So, since the migration patterns are so similar among these families, the dates are as important as the names. Not to butt in, but thought I need to add another 'twist' to research.

My grandmother was the daughter of Danelia and Aliet Benjamin Elkin. How are you connected to the family? There is lots of wrong information out there. One relative decided on parents for Aliet Benjamin with no proof. Another guy on the LDS web site apparently found the marriage of Aliet and Danelia and stuck them in as a missing generation of his family. As a result they are posted out there with the wrong children, etc. I have contacted him to try to get him to change his info but he won't do it. Danelia died in Great Falls, Montana and Aliet Benjamin died in Spokane, Washington. Would be glad to share what I have. Please contact me at jevanvleet@yahoo.com.

Wordscape: Willing Words - Patricia Law Hatcher, CG, FASG Most of the legal language encountered in wills is not obsolete, but it isn't necessarily part of our daily vocabulary. We should begin our discussion with words that rarely appear in wills themselves, although they may be encountered in subsequent documents related to the will. The person writing the will is the testator (male) or testatrix (female), and we say that he or she died testate. We also might refer to that person as the maker of the will. Organization and Structure The preambles in wills are largely boilerplate, but may have individual and interesting elements. Although the existence of some regional differences in wording have been suggested, local custom seems to be the predominant factor determining the wording. Thus, some preambles contain wording such as "In the name of God, Amen," or "I recommend my soul into the hand of almity god," but others do not. Unlike deeds, in which the date often occurs at the very end of the document, wills almost always have the date at the beginning, followed immediately by the name of the testator or testatrix, which is frequently modified by occupation (for men), marital status (for women), and/or place of residence. Next, there may be statements explaining why the will is being made: "not knowing the day of my death, being stricken in age, desiring to put my hous in order, knowing I must shortly put of[f] this frayle Tabernaclle" or the more common "uncertainty of this mortal life." Occasionally we learn that the testator is about to undertake a journey (often to Europe) or to march off to war. The preamble contains statements describing the maker's physical and mental health. The most common wording is "being sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be to God." Needless to say, the maker's mental health is always excellent, no matter how good or bad his or her physical health is, because if he or she were not of sound mind, the terms of the will could be challenged. The preamble concludes with the standard phrase, "do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following." The phrase Will and Testament simply refers to a written expression (testament) of the desire (will) of the maker. Those desires are usually clearly structured. The words creating the structure (Videlicit, Imprimis, Item) often are written in abbreviated form such as Viz, Imp, or It. They can be difficult to recognize in handwritten form because they begin with letters we rarely find as capitals. Viz means "to-wit" or "specifically" and is usually followed by enumerating details such as the names of all the children. Imprimis means first. Each bequest is usually an Item. Technically devise means to give realty (real property, land), but in older wills you will find it used synonymously with bequeath, which today is reserved for bequests of personality (personal property). Devisee refers to the person receiving the property. You may also see recipients called legatees (usually referring to personal property) or beneficiaries, especially after the testator has died. Near the end of a will you often find the phrase all the rest, residue, and remainder. This covers anything not included in specific items. The person(s) then named are called residual or residuary heirs or beneficiaries. I have noted that when many children are named, they are often named in birth order (youngest to oldest or oldest to youngest, often with boys and girls separate). Wives and Widows Remarriage following the death of a spouse was common in most parts of early America. If a testator says that his wife may keep that which she brought with her, it most commonly means that she has been married before. Less often it indicates an inheritance from her father, prior to the time of her marriage. (Any inheritance during her marriage would have gone to her husband.) Technically, it could include clothing and household items, but these were usually long since worn out and not worth mentioning in a will. (Her dowry went to her husband and was not hers; we'll discuss that another time.) A man might want to ensure that his property or the benefit of his property (referring to the use of property or income from the property, both real and personal) did not fall into the hands of a subsequent husband of his wife, and would therefore limit such use to during the term of her widowhood, which would end if she remarried. Children We should begin this section by discussing another word that does not appear in wills: primogeniture. This was the principle of English common law under which the eldest son inherited real property (land). Technically, it means that he had the right to the property (i.e., it couldn't be willed by the father to other persons). The degree to which it applied in the colonial period varied by colony and over time. (It was abolished after the American Revolution.) Virginia, for example, had a law stating that an eldest son could challenge a will in which his father had devised real property. We use the term more generally, to refer to property that passes silently to the first son without being mentioned in the will. You might see married daughters described as intermarried with, rather than wife of, as in "my daughter Margaret intermarried with William Jones." The terminology had no special meaning in wills. Don't Read Too Much into It When a testator or testatrix says that he or she is hereby revoking all former wills made by me, this does not mean he or she has made any previous wills. Nor when it refers to the last will, does it preclude the possibility of making future wills. Other Parties The testator was supposed to ordain, constitute, and appoint one or more persons, as executor or executrix. In general, there was not a specific age that an executor had to be, but since other roles, such as the ability to sell land, were determined by age, at least one executor should have been an adult. An underage child may have been named, in anticipation that those duties would have been assumed later. Likewise, one or more overseers or trustees might be appointed to help, especially if there is an executrix or minor children. Above the names of the witnesses, you may see the word Teste, which means attest or witness. You may find a statement that witnesses or the testator affirmed. Quakers did not swear oaths, so this suggests the individuals may have been Quakers. You should certainly investigate this. Occasionally, in an area where the recorders and residents were primarily Quaker, this wording may have been simply from force of habit. Signing When a will is signed, it is said to have been executed. (Why the word "signed" is insufficient is beyond me, but I'm sure there must be a valid legal reason for it.)

He came to the United States in April 1868, and located in Saline county, Mo. He was married to Miss Theresa Meschede, of near Miami, Mo., April 16, 1871, and made their home near there until March, 1906, when he moved to Henry county, and bought the farm where he spent his last days. Eight sons were born to them, namely - John H. and Fred H., of Urich, Mo.; Richard J., of Shackelford, Mo.; Joe F., of Napton, Mo.; Edward W. of Clinton, Mo., and Vincent E., and Henry Jr., of Creighton, Mo. Francis A., the youngest son, passed away at the home place December 13, 1918, aged 25 years. In 1897 he took into his home a little girl named Jessie May, not quite three years old, and raised her as one of his own children until the year, 1916, she went to Parsons, K! ansas, and several years later she was united in marriage to Lewis Srack, but after his death several years later, she went to California, and for almost three years, now, her friends here have not heard from her, so none could send her word of her foster father's death. He was a good neighbor, a faithful, loving husband, a true Christian father and a devoted grandfather. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, seven sons, eight granddaughters and ten grandsons, and one little three year old granddaughter and a tiny grandson have gone on before. On Wednesday morning, November 21st, 1923, at 9 o'clock, the funeral service was held at his late home by Rev. S. G. McCluney, of the Presbyterian churches, of Urich, and Creighton, Mo. Brother McCluney emphasized the fact that his influence would live after him, and do good in the lives of the sons he reared and the friends and neighbors he knew. The songs were: "God Will Take Care of You", "Under His Wing" and "Rock of Ages" sung b! y members of the Urich Presbyterian church. Six of his sons were pallb earers, while the seventh son, Fred, tried to comfort and assist his mother who is now left alone in her 73rd year. May God comfort the bereaved ones in this sad hour, for we shall all miss grandpa, his kind words, his smiling face and outstretched hand bidding us welcome. His body was laid to rest in beautiful Englewood, east of Clinton, near his son, Francis, there to await the resurrection. HILLEBRAND, Henry Source: Williams and Shoemaker, "Missouri Mother of the West", Missouri Historical Society 1930, Volume 4: Henry Hillebrand is a native of Missouri, one of the state's sterling school men, and has been engaged in the work of teaching and administering public schools in different parts of the state for about thirty years. He was born in one of the richest counties of Central Missouri, at the old town of Shackelford in Saline County, March 9, 1876. His father, Henry Hillebrand, was born at Harth, Germany, in 1844, lived there during his boyhood and early youth, and about 1869 came to the United States. He located at Lanesville in Saline County, and for a long period of years was numbered among the progressive farmers of that locality, and about 1906 moved to Clinton in Henry County, Missouri, where he continued farming until his death on December 13, 1924. He was a Democrat in his political affiliations, and lived the life of a devout Christian. He married Theresa Meschede, wh! o was born in Germany in 1850, and was brought to the United States by her parents in 1859. She grew up among relatives in Saline County, and her father, Richard Meschede, afterwards settle in that county, having spent his first years in this country at Saint Louis. He was a farmer near Lanesville and lived out his life there. He married a Miss Pittman, a native of Germany, who died in Saline County when eighty-six years of age. The children of Henry Hillebrand and wife were: John, a farmer at Urich, Missouri; Richard J., who owns and operates the old Hillebrand homestead at Shackleford; Henry Hillebrand; Joe, a farmer at Marshall, Missouri; Ed, a farmer at Clinton; Fred, a resident of Urich and since 1911 a rural mail carrier; Vince E., a farmer at Creighton, Missouri; and Francis, a farmer, who died at Clinton in 1918 of the influenza, when twenty-five years of age. Mr. Henry Hillebrand, a Missouri farm boy, had the advantages of the rural schools of Saline County, and in! 1897 entered the Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg. In t he intervals of his teaching he continued his work there during summer sessions until 1925, when he was graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree in education. He taught his first term of rural school in 1898, and has had five years of rural school experience. During that time he taught in Calhoun, Henry and Saline counties. For three years he was principal of the high school at Calhoun, for one year was superintendent of schools at Urich, and four years superintendent at Deepwater. After he had been superintendent of schools at Humansville for three years he left school work in 1918, during the World war, and took up farming in Henry County. However, the call of educational work was too strong to resist and in 1921 he became superintendent of schools at Shawnee Mound. He was superintendent at Creighton from 1923 to 1926, and after another year on his farm at Creighton came to Farber in Audrain County, in the fall of 1927, and became superintendent in that progressive li! ttle town of Northeastern Missouri. Mr. Hillebrand has always kept in touch with educational interests and is a member of the Missouri State and Kansas State Teachers Associations. He is a Democrat in politics, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge at Humansville and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Urich. He married at Calhoun, Missouri, December 31, 1901, Miss Edna Hudson, daughter of Rev. Martin D. and Sarah E. (Crow) Hudson. Her mother resides at Deepwater, Missouri. Her father was a minister of the Presbyterian Church and in his earlier years did a great deal of work as a circuit rider in South Missouri counties. Mr. and Mrs. Hillebrand have four children: Martin, a graduate of the Deepwater High School, has been looking after the home farm at Creighton; Henry B., who graduated from the high school at Deepwater in 1926, is also a farmer; Herbert and Homer, the two younger sons, are still in school.
