Is there any way that I might be able to determine anything with reference
to a person purchasing property in Jennings County in 1852. Would a woman
be able to purchase on her own if she was a single person or a widow? I
have a document indicating
Sarah Ponsler purchased this certain piece of property but I am trying to
figure out if she was a single woman or if a widow, which Ponsler man was
her late husband, OR what her maiden name was prior to the marriage.
Thank you.
