Hi,
I need a look up to see if there is a will for Mathew Stephen Carder of Bowling Green, KY.
He lived Oct. 3, 1831 to May 19, 1910. Married to Amanda Jane Ervin lived Aug. 4, 1832 to
Apr. 13, 1908. He then re-married to a Elizabeth Blakeman born 1832 who had a son John H.
Blakeman born 1886. It has been a family rumor that when Amanda Jane died Mathew married
Elizabeth Blakeman who (again I say rumored) was the town (let's say friendly lady
person) and then she poisoned him to inherit his wealth. From what I understand he had a
huge estate and was a race horse breeder. My great grandmother would tell this story. None
of his children received any of the estate. One of which was my great grandmother's
mother, Margaret Ann Carder. Margaret and almost all of her sibling migrated to St.
Joseph. MO after death of their father, Mathew. Would like to see the will or probate of
the estate if it is available. Thanks in advance.
Jeff Hendricks
