I did notice the discrepancy in the date; however, J. Elias's (which I mistakenly listed as Elias J.) headstone reads 1884. That is where I got that date. So either date could be correct. Either way, it is curious that it took either 2 or 4 years to file that petition; I only speculate why. I do know the family lived at least 15-16 miles from the county courthouse... that could have been a factor. Or the cost of filing fees, if there were any. I wish I knew the answer! <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

In either case, isn't it curious that it wasn't until 1886, four and a half years later, that the petition was filed?Free Genealogy Guidehttp://freegenealogyguide.comnoreply@blogger.com
