Hi, I have been researching the LONG family from Bullskin Township for several years now and am a long distance researcher (I live in AZ:-)) I am trying to research the estate of Joseph Long who died in Bullskin Township in November 1829. He and his wife, Lydia, are buried in Old Connell Cemetery..Lydia died in November 1840. I have written to request a lookup for a will of Joseph Long but apparently there is no will listed in the Will Indices for Joseph Long and no record of Joseph Long listed in the Orphan's court indices. My question is: How would you go about researching the existence of an estate record/packet for Joseph Long...isn't there usually some type of distribution of the estate or appointment of an administrator if there is no will (even if no record to Joseph Long is found in an index??) I am trying to connect potential sons with Joseph Long and am hoping to find a record pertaining to the estate that may list heirs...I wish I was able to personally come and research myself but am unable to at this time. Any help anyone could be or direction you could point me to research would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time, Alison Bigbee
