I am separating couples named John & Ann Horner. A defining record is a spinster’s probate where “two surviving sisters natural and lawful” were administrixes of her 1836 estate. So their two older “natural” sisters, Ann & 3xGGmother Mary, were dead. The field narrows. #ancestrychat #familyhistory

That’s it. That’s all I’ve got…
