Hi, Apslatin, I know you are going to do your own research there and probably do not have time to check on other people, but if you were so generously inclined, I would so appreciate a check to see if there is probate material for a Lavina BARSE MILLS. Lavina BARSE, b. abt 1816 in Vermont, d. abt 16 Dec 1853 (date of obituary) in Olean, Cattaraugus; m. Warren MILLS 13 Oct 1832 in Starkey, Yates County. I am looking for proof that she is one of the BARSE children of John BARSE and Betsey RANDALL, and death/probate papers may have further genealogical information I am missing. If you don't have time, thanks anyway, and please disregard.
