Hello Karen,
Thank you for the transcript! Curiouser and curiouser! Baltus d. 5 Feb 1854 (his will is dated 28 Jan 1854). John Thornton Edwards was actually Maria's 3rd husband, as she 1st married Levi Wilcoxon and had 3 children by him before he died in 1852. She married Baltus 18 Aug 1853. In the 1860 census, Lennington's son is listed as "Bolton", b. 1854. Census taker's error on the name? In the 1860 census, there are two more children, apparently both fathered by John Edwards. I don't know what happened to Fanny, b. 1857, nor of the other children, except for John Hugh who was brought to CA with his father.
Are you connected to any of the above people? If I can be of help with the information I have, please let me know. I really appreciate getting this. Every little bit helps! This article explains why the 1890 map shows the property as the "Lennington Estate." Maria seems to have named her son "Rezin" after one of Levi's Wilcoxon relatives as that name is used in Stephenson Co. at that time.
Maria reportedly died in childbirth, but where and when is not known. One report says John Edwards and his family [presumably including Maria and the children] left Stephenson Co. and went west.
