Thanks to all who wrote on my quest. I'm in the process of answering all of
you individually, but I'm just kinda slow right now!
I didn't cite all my sources when I wrote the previous message, because
that wasn't the point.
However, another lister sent me a source that corroborates my previous info
on Verlinda Graves etc. I copy portions of it below (since mine isn't in a
computer file yet, and she was so kind to send it).
I haven't personally looked at the wills described yet, but hopefully I'll
be able to do that in the future. If anyone has seen any of these and is
able to forward a copy I would appreciate it.
