Hi Joann, Sorry, there wasn't any new information there - oh well - just have to keep looking! Celia >Hi, Celia, > >Thanks for the info; yes, this is the book I saw. The item about N. >Andrews being a daughter is not correct. N. Andrews was really Charles >N. Andrews who was made guardian to the son Silas. I have the documents >from probate. He was also appointed to be the administrator of the >estate. > >There is a document with no date where the administrator "has not >discovered any money property estate or credits of said estate, and does >not know of any." "And he resigns the office of Administrator of said >Estate." David F. Talbot was then appointed administrator and guardian >of the son. This last item appears to be dated Jan. 6, 1859. > >I am sure this son Silas who was listed as age 8 in 1859 is the 13 year >old pauper in the poorhouse in Owen, Winnebago Co., IL in 1860, and the >ancestor of Arlene Willet who is on the list and Suzanne Houchin who >does not have e-mail! > >Best, Joann
