SAMUEL HOLLINGSWORTH OF BOONE COUNTY, INDIANA
CONTINUED
Note: You will see that not "four children," but only two, were listed.
Poor Sam, who doubtless contributed the sketch and paid a good sum for
a copy of the book, was probably as beside himself with disgust as a
Friend would allow himself to be.

Based on the great works Indiana Wills Phase I and Phase II. by Heritage
House, Indianapolis, IN (1986, 1987) ed. Charles Franklin. The Knox County
items have been abstracted in HR. Most of the others remain unseen by us.
Above gives testator, county, year of probate and will book and page. (A
list of lost records by county is also given. Madison County wills all
lost in fire 10 Dec 1880!)
Correction: "Osage" not "Orange" County, Missouri
CORRECTION: On page 41 of Sept. 1989 HR we ascribed the marriage to
'Orange' County, Missouri. Correspondent Eileen Gray of Florence, Ore
was rightly incensed by this patent error for 0SAGE County! As she
says, "there is not/never was an Orange County in Missouri!"We would
make a goof like that with one of her great uncles! Wm. Flacher Hol-
lingsworth married 28 Apr 1844 by William Curtis, minister, probably
groom's uncle. Our handwriting was the cause for the error.
