Amos's Estate is #1479, filed in the Probate Court of Miami County, Ohio.Samuel Albaugh and Jonas Harshbarger were appointed to appraise the estate.Henry Alexander (son of Amos), Mary Alexander (his widow, and probably the daughter of James Hall), and James Hall filed a bond in probate court.The various receipts in the estate would indicate that he left a widow (his second wife) and minor children.Lucinda Alexander who married Thomas Coppock is named as an heir (she would be a daughter).Amos Alexander, Jr. is mentioned in one of the receipts, and would be a son.Henry and Mary Alexander were named administrators.Among those purchasing items at the Estate sale onSeptember 5, 1846, were Isaac Alexander (who may have married Mary Harshbarger), also believed to be a son, Fanny Hall (his daughter who married Samuel Hall), James and William Alexander, who may also have been his children.
I would like to know where Amos's widow, Mary (Hall) Alexander went after his death.Also verification on his children.
