Hi Pat Thanks very much for going to this trouble, I needed all the help I could get with it, most confusing. Yes Magdalena is the widow of Nelson FULLUM the William mentioned is the eldest son and co executor of Nelsons will, all the others are the remaining 6 sons. Yes Nelson died in Robinson Twp in Washington County! Now I will try and find out more on this land purchase in OHIO by Nelson FULLUM. Strangely enough the Barton's buy some land from NELSON Fullum in 1829 in Robinson Twp, a few months before Nelson's death. Thank you very much for your analysis.

I don't recall the relationships. Is Magdelena the widow of Nelson? If so, Isaac, a son, and the other heirs, were paid by their mother, Magdelena, and William (a son?) $180 for their share of property that Nelson bought from the Bartons. The property transfer was confirmed in 1832. The property is in Ohio, Belmont County, Township 6 north, Range 4 West. Complicating matters is that the section numbers do not match the BLM-General Land Office system. It is in the position where Section 33 would normally be. I don't know why, have never checked out the Ohio quirks before. The property is southwest of Wheeling, West Virginia. It's also about 60 miles southwest of Robinson Twp, PA. The reason the quit claim is in Robinson Twp, Washington County, PA, is likely because that's where the probate for Nelson was handled. I've seen these property changes related to probates being repeated in both jurisdictions, so there might be additional paperwork in Belmont County. Pat Dunford Tucson
