Does anyone know the answer to this riddle other than suggesting that Rowland Lee
witnessed a will 4 years after he died?
1866: Allen Adams sold land to Rowland Lee and his wife Fanny Lee.
1870: Zilla Tinkham was listed with her children and a 59 year old Roland Lee in the
household.
1873: Rowland Lee died September 26 1873 aged 65 years and is buried Adams Cemetery
(stone rechecked by GSWC)
1880: Zillah was listed as Zilla Lee, widow, with her grandaughter Bertha Tinkham. She was
so listed in her obit and in family records.
BUT
1887 - Rowland Lee & Levi Adams witnessed will of Henry Roberts of Troy Township,
Whitley County, Indiana. ....... Signed 18 January 1877. Henry Roberts (SEAL) . Sworn to
and subscribed on 28 August 1878 before James Reider, Clerk.
