Daviess Co., IN, Will Record Book 1, pages 73 & 74 (I have a copy.)
Will of Garrett Voorhes
Signed by X mark and seal 18 Feb 1864
Filed 1 March 1864
Proven 1 March 1864
Witnesses Esop Johnson and William D. Shields
1. To my four daughters, Sarah Voorhes, Phereby Voorhes, Levina Voorhes, and Malissa Jane Voorhes, the farm on which we reside in Daviess County, IN containing about 50 acres and all other goods.
2. To my daughter Nancy Richey, $1.00 (Nicholas Ritchey)
3. To my daughter Hannah Fortner, $1.00 (Elisha Fortner)
4. To my daughter Mary Clinton, $1.00 (Confusing. I thought she died before 1860. Her husband Samuel Clinton remarried in 1862 before this will was written.)
Solomon Inman appointed guardian of Phereby, Lavina and Malissa Jane Voorhes until age 18 or intermarriage. (Sarah was about 20 years old already.)
William Johnson, Executor
I show Sarah Voorhees marrying Norval Girdley and Melissa Jane Voorhees marrying Abraham Fleenor Andis and Phereby Voorhees marrying Isaac Newton Cox. No information on Lavina yet.

I have a couple of questions for you...
Did Ollie go by any other name? What was her full name - if you know it? Did you know her exact birth date? Do you know what years she lived in Martin Co? Was she married to ? Hart in Martin Co? Where and when did she marry William Pratt? When was Eunice born? When did they move to SD? If you know any of this information, it might help us find who her parents were. Also, If you know her death date - have you tried to get a death record for her? Many times, if it was after 1900, it lists their parents' names on it. Just a thought that might be helpful.

This is in regards to Ollie Martin. Ollie was my great grandmother. She was born in 1882. The problem I am having is finding out who her parents were. She was married to William Pratt but had one child prior to marrying William. This child had the last name of Hart. Her name was Eunice Hart-Pratt. If anyone has information on this, please let me know. Thank you.
