Thank you, Lyn & thanks to your mother for the transcription. I am curious re "In the 1870 census an Anna Stanley is present in Benjamin's household. For whatever reason, she does not appear in this will, unless perhaps it is another name used by Martha or Sarah." and I'm not where I can get to any records of that household in the 1870 census. Can you refresh our memories -- were Martha &/or Sarah listed? Thanks again. Barbara
