Decatu's,
I am currently inventorying the estate papers in Shelby Co IN. In a
Common Pleas filebox, I found a very large bundle of papers for one Job
B. BUCK. All the papers are stamped "Ira G. Grover, Clk, Decatur Co,
IN". I haven't read every single paper, but I have sorted them into
categories and I see NO connection to Shelby Co IN, other than physical
proximity (Job evidently lived in Sandcreek Twp, adjacent to Shelby
Co). Hester BUCK relinquished her right to administer the estate and
Abraham SAMUELS was appointed adm in Mar 1872. Job died sometime prior
to that. Included is a deed for the property belonging to Job that was
sold to Elizabeth MERRYMAN.
I have called Rosalee Robbins, but she is not home. I will take the
papers to the Decatur Co courthouse sometime in the next two weeks. In
the meantime, if someone wants copies, please let me know.
And while I am on the subject of estate papers, is there anyone on the
list that would consider transcribing Decatur Co estate papers for
publication on the Decatur Co website?
