Thanks for replying. Saves me much time. I'm looking for a death between
1834 and 1836; at least, I think she died. She had her last child in 1834
and her husband remarried in 1836. I suppose she could have been put away. I
recall reading a will that specified that a certain house would be
maintained on the farm to house a certain female and they named a servant to
be appointed to take care of her until her death.
Either his mother-in-law or a crazy relative???

Thanks. I shall put your information in my file for future use.

Caroline (named after my great-grandmother)
