Message Board Post:
I am trying to track down some of my distant relatives. I have just come across some
information that leads me to look in Wells county for follow up.
This is the information I have come across, from the will of their grandfather James
Jennings ... Written on October 12, 1858
THIRD, I devise unto my three grandchildren, having children of my daughter Mary Stratton
dec?, namely, Alvin, Daniel, and Caroline Stratton, the following described real estate,
with the improvements thereon, being the South West quarter of Section eighteen, in
Township Twenty-five, and Range Thirteen, East, in Wells County and State of Indiana,
containing one hundred and sixty acres of land, more or less; to them their heirs and
offspring forever.
***
Can anyone tell me if Alvin, Daniel and/or Caroline have made any impact upon Wells
County? I figure Alvin was born about 1839, Caroline E. was born about 1844, and I do not
know when Daniel was born except that it had to be between 1838 and 1848 (when his mother
died). Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Respectfully,
Kevin Strattan
