Ethel,
If she "received" or bought land, have you checked the Land deeds in that
area?
I have a Hannah, Jonathan & Tom Williams in the Emigration Rolls (They had
gone to Ark. leaving their land on the East side of the Mississippi River) &
I see 1 Prince (or Snip)also on this Roll.
What else does her application say about her residence or her relatives
residence? Basically where all if any does it list them for living. Also,
what are the family names for her. It might help give us (Helen) some more
clues of where to look & what to look for.
Alli :)
