Notes |
- Edwin Ford: Lucy Giles came to Shiloh, AL (Marengo Co) to teach school, supposedly. Lived with a family named Hosea. She was from Laurel, DE, probably born there. Had a brother than never married, who ran a box factory. When he died there was no will, so his estate was divided and Stella Melissa Curtis inherited $2000-3000, 1/76th of the total, a lot of money for the day. Have her copy of the letter announcing the distribution. Came just before the war. Think we have a copy of the marriage license from Marengo County.
