I am hoping someone has some information about Mandeville Finch's
widow, Elizabeth Maxwell Finch and their children.
Mandeville died October 1, 1846. October 24, 11868 when an inventory
was made, his widow ( Elizabeth) " took" a number of items plus a
cow, etc. A month later there was a public sale of the other personal
property including household and kitachen items.
I find not a mention of Elizabeth until her father's will in 1853
says she is deceased.
In 1847 Wm finch is guardian of Amelia, John, Rebecca, James L,
Charles Henry Robert and Theodore. and in 1848 John Finch is the
guardian of those kids.
In 1858 John Finch is guardian of Rebecca, Charles Henry and Robert
Maxwell
in 1861 William is guardian of Charles H. and Robert and in 1864 as
well.
Three of the children went to Ohio after their father died. 5
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
