Re: Duck family GA and AR

Hello Donald.I can possibly help you with the daughter, Sarah Jane Roe, but I do not have any follow-up information on the two boys Levi Wilson and Robert Henry Roe. As I am not actively searching for this group of family members now, I have not verified this information except through the internet - so, please use this information as you see fit.

As you know, Sara Maria Wilson first married Harmon Roe and then Ebenezer Brown.After her marriage to Ebenezer Brown, they had three children Aetna (b. 1866), Thomas Allison (b. 1868) and Julius (b. 1869).Sarah died before 1872 and Ebenezer died in 1872).Do you have a copy of Ebenezer's will?I do have that and can send you a copy if you need it.

1872, WILL:Listed on Ebenezer's Will - I will to my minor children Nicholas L. Brown, Etna S. Brown, Thomas Brown and Julius Brown two hundred dollars jointly in money over and above an eaqual distribution of my Estate for the purpose of raising and educating them.

1875, MARRIAGE:Sarah Jane Roe (daugher of Sara Maria Wilson and Harmon Roe -- I believe this is the same person), married William J. Bullock on 2 December 1875 (www.FamilySearch.org).

1876, GUARDIAN BOND, INDEPENDENCE COUNTY - W. D. Hodges, Guardian, and Jessie M. Hinkle Security for Julius Brown and Etna Brown - received $800.23rd February 1876.

Sarah (Roe) Bullack (daughter of Ebenezer's second wife)

(Just my thought - I don't know what happened to Thomas Allison as he is not listed on the Guardian Bond above nor on this census --- also, note spelling of last name).
