Middletown Times Herald Newspaper, Wednesday, May 11, 1949 pg 3 Middletown, Port Residents To Share in $60,000 Estate Brooklyn -- Bernard McGinn of PO Box 512, Middletown, NY, will share in an estate valued at $806,788 according to a transfer tax appraisal report filed in Kings County Surrogate Court today. The estate was left by the Middletown man's distant cousin, the late Carrie Herbs of 1127 49th Street, Brooklyn, who died intestate at the age of seventy-eight on June seventh, 1947. According to court officials the Middletown man will receive a one seventeenth share of the residue of estate. -Also receiving similar amounts are Dorothy B. Sells and Catherine B. Ducey of forty-four Orange Street, Frank Markle, twenty-eight Mechanic Street, Elizabeth Luckey, seventeen Union Street, Bernard Markle, five Hight Street, all Port Jervis and Caroline Woolsey, Glen Spey. The Bernard McGinn mentioned is my Great Grandfather. His mother was Caroline "Carrie" Markle McGinn O'Neil. The others seem to all be children of Carrie's siblings. Now Carrie's parents were Morris Markley b 1824 Wurtemburg, Germany and Catherine Carter b 1828 Ireland. I am trying to figure out which would be related to Carrie Herbs and how. Going by ages, Carrie Herbs would have been born abt 1869, and could be a cousin of Bernard's mother Carrie. But through which parent? Does anyone recognize any of these names? Is anyone related to Carrie Herbs? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
