HELLO ALL i have two questions. does anyone have acess to 1820 ny cencus for town of hemp. there should only be one book or one reel. 2nd did list spouses? i need one more source of documentation. i am looking to have a 2nd source of information. besides the originial bible record. i need a record to prove charlotte whaley first wife of walter f. whaley son of james. born may 9th 1779. and died between 1818-1821. she may have even died giving birth to catherine, the last child born in feb 1818. because he married mary southard in 1823. she was 2nd wife. ALL THE KIDS WERE CHARLOTTES mary is not listed in the bible. but she is the one who applied for those pension papers. any suggestions? did women have wills? in 1818? kristina
