Laurie, Check with the courthouse, which may require hiring someone to do the research, for estate papers for Peter Ostrander. Even if there is no will, the final disbursement of his estate would name his heirs, and hopefully that would include at least all of his living children. Sometimes though, the daughters' shares were left to their husbands. Pat
