Who is Samuel G. BALDWIN?? He is NOT mentioned in the 1878 will of John BRASIE of Lorain County, OH, but is listed on a 'Next of Kin' distribution form for probate as as 'son' (with 'Brasie' inserted between his first and last name) in 1891. He had not been on previous census records and the recorded children bear the BRASIE/BRAZEE name. His name comes after the birth order of his natural children, but before the one grandchild that is listed to inherit. Possible step-son of: John BRASIE (1816 NY -1891 OH) m (1) Almira LAMBERT (1823-1862) 1842 in Elyria, Lorain Co., Ohio; m (2) Julia BRENT 1864 Lorain Co., Ohio. Is Julia BRENT his mother? He is mentioned as living on St. Clair in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in 1876 and 1891. Any information or any thoughts on this?

Hi; I can not solve your mystery, but here is a thought. Not all heirs at law must be mentioned in a will, but all must be listed in the application to probate.
