______________________________________
I am not working on or related to this line of Lee's but have others I am working on
in Whitley Co. My Adams are much older than Whitley Co.
Just looked at that abstract that I typed in on Rowland Lee as a witness. Might be
best to look at the actual will to check if Mrs. Raber copied the date correct or I
mistyped the date as either might be possible.
Record 2 Page 260. Henry Roberts of Troy Township, Whitley County, Indiana. To Sally
(wife) bat at her death equally to my children except Emeline is to have $100 more
than the other children. Signed 18 January 1877. Henry Roberts (SEAL) Witnesses -
Rowland Lee, Levi Adams. Sworn to and subscribed on 28 August 1878 before James
Reider, Clerk.
Just noticed I did not have the index to wills connected to the will abstracts. I
will have to fix that.
Tinkham Robert born May 14 1820 died February 22 1899 2 names - Diana Adams-4-9
Tinkham Diana born 1823 died 1846 2 names - wife of Robert Adams-4-9-2
Tinkham Cynthia born July 11 1828 died September 30 1870 His Wife Adams-4-9-3
Lee Rowland died September 26 1873 aged 65 years Adams-4-10
Tinkham Uri died June 1 1851 aged 1 year Adams-4-11
Tinkham Joseph aged 67 years 17 days - Flat on ground Adams-4-12
Yes it is old. One or all of the dates might be wrong. Has anyone checked the
accuracy of the tombstone transcription?
Wonder if William Uriah Tinkham has rolled over in his grave!

Has anyone noticed that Zillah (Adams) Tinkham married Rowland Lee
after he
died in 1873? Rowland Lee also witnessed Henry Robert's will in 1877.
