George Anderson's 101 Page Will / Probate and a Twist to this Story

In March 2015, I contacted Dane County, Wisconsin for copies of a will and probate records pertaining to George Anderson (he died Jan. 10, 1879 at the age of 94). He was my third great-grandfather, born in New Jersey. Months later, I learned that the entire probate packet was 101 pages long. I just read those pages this past week, his will is below, transcribed by me, followed by the actual copy, and the correspondence to the courthouse. There is no need to read it until you get to September. (I included it for my documentation.)

It took almost a month to get the exact copies I needed from the courthouse. There is a big twist to this story because six months after I initially wrote, I made a discovery. If I had waited until September, I could have saved some money and a whole lot of time and no confusion.

Hello Barbara,

This email is in response to your request regarding probate records for your great-grandfather.  I have found the probate record on microfilm.  There is a $4.00 fee for the search and copies are $1.00 per page.  Are you looking for anything specific to be copied?  For such an old case, there are a lot of documents on microfilm.

 When I've determined the total cost due, I'll email you an invoice.  Upon payment of the invoice, I will email the copies to you.

 Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Barbara,

Things haven't slowed down here in the record center.  After I got off of the phone with you the other day, I realized that I had already copied some of the documents from the microfilm.  I want to go back to the film to see what more was on there, but since I'm out of the office starting tomorrow until 4-6...what I'm going to do is send you what I've already copied...it's attached to this email.  Take a look at it and when I get back, we can touch base and see if you need anything further and determine the cost.

Hi Karen,

It's now Friday evening, and I want to thank you for going over and above in getting the documents to me so I can see them. A brief count shows 14 (but 2 are repeats), I need to do it again when I'm not rushed.

Yes, we will touch base when you return. I am pleased and they provided a few clues.

When you get the chance, I'm here. Enjoy your week, and Happy Easter as well.

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your patience.  I do sometimes make duplicate copies, just to make sure if you can't read something on one of the copies, you will be able to on another.  Of course, you'll only be charged one copy fee.

I've attached a copy of the court docket entries to this email to help you determine what additional documents you would like copied.  I don't know why I didn't think of doing that before I went on vacation...but there it is.

I did also take a quick look at the microfilm again...most of the documents are 1 or 2 pages long...just a reminder that our copy fee is $1.00 per page and there will be a $4.00 search fee as well.

I'll wait to hear back from you which additional documents you would like copied.  I did notice if I blow up the size of the page, it's a little easier to read.

Apr 10, 2015

Karen,

I see you wear many hats on your job! I'm glad you aren't spending all your time looking at film.

I think we can end this project, the last document you sent didn't seem to have much that I needed, so I'll pass on that. From my count, there are 12 pages. I do have a few questions:

Could you tell me the title of the film and 1st-page number? (I'd like the source.)

My pages are the electronic ones or do you send hard copies?

Lastly, my bill is? (12 + 4, or is it more because you mentioned that some pages were longer.)

Sincerely,

Barbara Poole

Barbara, your comments are funny, as my first job with Dane County Clerk of Courts some 30 years ago was preparing files to be microfilmed and then checking the films once they were developed to make sure everything was legible.  I do have much more variety now : )

This case is on Dane County Circuit Court Probate Film 171-A-98 and is the first case on Index #4 which is Box 268.

I'm coming up with 11 pages for the number of copies...the last page is just one of those covers that used to get filed with documents indicating what was being filed...so I won't charge you for that.  I have attached our invoice to this email for the search and copy fees.  Payment instructions are on the invoice.  If you choose to mail a check please enclose a copy of the invoice with it.  I just saved the documents from the microfilm right to a PDF, so I didn't print out any hard copies.

I'm glad you were able to get some useful information from these records.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Dear Karen,

I must share this with you. Back in April, I requested a will of George Anderson's, and you provided it. Since there were a lot of pages in his packet, it took some time, but you did it.

Just today, I discovered that Ancestry.com just released millions of wills and probate records to subscribers. (I think it is free for this weekend.) Anyway, I found my George Anderson...all pages are crystal clear and clean, all 101 pages! I thought you would be interested in this, and maybe get a chuckle.

Sincerely,

Barbara

Hi Barbara,

I do find this interesting...especially the fact that the copies were so clear.  I wonder where they obtained the copies...maybe they have better equipment to print from microfilm than we do.  Plus the fact that you got all of these additional documents for free is awesome!

This is information I'll pass on to other people requesting records from us...as I just had someone requesting some old probate records that were difficult to copy.

 Thanks for taking the time to email me...I enjoy hearing "the rest of the story". 

Take care and happy researching.

----------------------------------------------------------

Below is what Ancestry dot com listed, and you can see it was a huge packet of legal papers, including the will. 

 

I never got around to printing out the 101 pages or even reading it until this week. I used the below link as my source: From Ancestry.com (Sept. 2015). Unfortunately, six years later, the link doesn't take me to these records.

http://interactive.ancestry.com/9088/007711116_01714?pid=1202698&backurl=http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv%3D1%26db%3Dusprobatewi%26gsfn%3Dgeorge%26gsln%3Danderson%26msddy%3D1879%26msdpn__ftp%3DWisconsin%252c%2BUSA%26msdpn%3D52%26submit%3DSearch%26rank%3D1%26msdpn__ftp_x%3DXO%26msddy_x%3D1%26msddp%3D_x%26gsln_x%3DXO%26gsfn_x%3DXO%26gss%3Dangs-d%26pcat%3DUS_WILLSPROBATE%26fh%3D0%26h%3D1202698%26recoff%3D%26ml_rpos%3D1&usePUB=true#?imageId=007711116_01709

However, when I did the link today, to compare, it takes you right to the packet.

The Three Unique Sources Didn't Prove Anything

George Anderson, my 3rd great-grandfather, has been a mystery to me ever since I saw the chart on the left for my father showing his ancestor was Major George Anderson. I've been very curious about his title for 25 years.

I've traced George's ancestry from his 1784 New Jersey birth back four generations. I know the names of his three wives and his nine children. This information was rather easy to find, thanks to 3 federal censuses, a state census, a book on his ancestors called, A Genealogy of the Reyniersen Family, several historical books, and the selfless help in 2008 from Dorothy Koenig, editor of the New Netherlands Connections. He died at age 94, so there was a lot of information out there, but not what I'm looking for.

The one thing missing is actual proof that George Anderson was a Major. As mentioned above, he was named Major George Anderson  in many sources I used. Such as: a small genealogy outline done by my mother, a death notice in a book I located in Salt Lake City, various pages from a manuscript I obtained from Rice University in 2009 (the word Major was written three times), a brief mention from an index card in the file of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Written on the card was, "Silver hilted dress sword worn by the grandfather of Maj. George Anderson." All these sources were useful, but I still don't know why he was called a Major.

When three new sources came my way this year, I decided my challenge would be to find proof if George was really a Major. My blog played a big part in getting help because of two new readers who helped me. The first reader was a distant cousin who googled our shared ancestor's name; the second reader enjoyed something I had written and left a comment (it had nothing to do with genealogy). Our correspondence led to my accepting a subscription to GenealogyBank.com. The third source involved George's will (I saw a better copy than the awful one I had received several months prior, thanks to Ancestry.com). Below, are the three steps I took to find information from my new sources.

In March, I received an email from Mattie, inquiring about my Adams line. As fate would have it, she is my third cousin and I was very familiar with her family. I never contacted anybody on that line because I felt I had all I needed. She mentioned a manuscript her grandfather had written and there were parts about Major George Anderson in it. Within a week, I had her typed 28 page booklet. I quickly made copies and sent it back to her. That information, though didn't solve my question as to why he was a Major, set me on the path to once again work on his line.

The next logical step was to try and find a will. The next month, I contacted the Deputy Clerk Dane County Circuit Court Record Center in Madison, Wisconsin to inquire about a will, then to get copies of it. The clerk called me after they received my written request, because the probate packet was so large. She needed to discuss what I wanted, since I had no idea, I decided on the first 14 pages (neither of us knew how large the packet was.) I paid $1 a page for an electronic image. The images were horrible and so were the copies I printed outs. I put the will matter aside until one day in September I received notice that Ancestry.com released the Wisconsin, Wills and Probate Records, 1800-1987. Within minutes of putting in his name and state, there was his file, a file with 101 pages!

Name: George Anderson
Probate Date: 6 Feb 1879
Probate Place: Dane, Wisconsin, USA
Inferred Death Year: Abt 1879
Inferred Death Place: Wisconsin, USA
Item Description: Probate Records, Box 266, T-W - Box 268, Anderson, George
Table of Contents 101 images

All the probate records turned out to be crisp and clean and I could read about 99% of it. I was lucky George had a will and a codicil. The contents won't be discussed because I plan on doing a post covering two interesting I discovered. What I was happy to find were the words Major Anderson written twice, as seen below. Only 2 pages out of 101 pages has this title.

The third bit of information regarding the name of Major George Anderson came from GenealogyBank.com. Within an hour of logging on, I was lucky to find death notices in newspapers for two of his three wives (died 1840 and 1878), and the best thing was finding George's 1879 death notice two weeks after his 3rd wife's death! Below shows the snippet of his death, and I immediately clicked on it to open it.


Seeing Major written in the above snippet for the Wisconsin State Journal was like finding the pot of gold, and it confirmed my other notice of his title and death which is shown below. As I mentioned, I also found death notices for two of his wives. The first wife, my direct line ancestor died in 1840, but I had no idea in which state, until I saw the notice. (Her children were born in 4 different states.) The notice also provided me with her father's name by printing she "was the daughter of, Capt. Jeremiah Ten Eyck of Middlesex co., N. J."

In 2008, while at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, I found the following information: "Maj. George Anderson died at Madison, Jan 10th in the ninety-fifth year of his age. He was born on the banks of the Raritan, New Jersey, March 8th 1784; and after residing successively on Staten Island, in Pennsylvania and Illinois, he settled in Dane County in 1839 and spent most of his life as a farmer. While residing in Madison, he served two years on the Board of Aldermen, and several years as Supervisor in the County Board, serving in the latter capacity at the time of his death. He survived his third wife two weeks. He was a gentleman of the old school, enjoying good health and a bright intellect almost to the last."

From: Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. 1882 Vol. 9: 429. Wisconsin Necrology, 1879. (Book at FHL at Salt Lake City books.) I wrote a blog post about this in 2010, and it may be seen HERE.

Was George in the military? I still don't know, but I doubt it because over the course of many years, I haven't found any indication that he was. As you can see, it often takes many years and many sources to get a pretty good picture of somebody's life, but until you know everything about the person, the research should continue. It also helps to have an interested cousin and a helpful reader, thank you both.


As an after thought, I've decided to show his marriage record for 1841, when George married his second wife.

Disclosure: GenealogyBank.com has provided me with a subscription to their product, a newspaper subscription to use and I am under no obligation to write a review. The product was mentioned in this post because I tried it out and was more than happy with the results.
----------------------------------------------------
To those who kindly responded with helpful ideas.
I re-read the will of George's father, Simon and it mentions son George four times. It also said, :Sons, George and Cornelius lands whereon I now live that my father bought of Albert Voorhees (315 acres). Son, Georege, negro man, Nene, my silver hilted sword, silver watch and 6 silver tea spoons." (His other son also received a negro man.) Now I know where the "silver hilted sword" came from.
I also put in the name of Major Anderson (as his first name) on Ancestry.com and he didn't come up. My finding, he was named George, not Major.

There is also a write-up about him, and in-part, it reads," Major Anderson has held several offices, the duties of which he has faithfully and honestly discharged. He was for several years supervisor of the town of Sun Prairie, chairman of the county board, under-sheriff three years, collector of taxes of Dane and Sauk counties, and settling his accounts without making a mistake. He was also deputy United States marshal. He is now living in comfortable retirement upon the interest of the money his industry and economy have enabled him to accumulate. Major Anderson's natural capabilities enabled him to enjoy the full benefit of the society of such cultivated gentlemen as Nicholas Biddle, John C. Craig and W. R. Johnson of Virginia, with whom he was intimately connected in business for five years, and his retentive memory enables him to narrate many interesting incidents characteristic of those gentlemen. In illustration of the ready wit and imperturbable self-possession of Colonel Johnson he relates that on his return to Philadelphia from New Jersey, when the great race between Mr. Johnson's horse Boston and Mr. Gibbon's mare Fashion had just been run, and while still on the crowded ferry-boat, Colonel Johnson felt some one's hand in his pocket, and instantly clasping and holding it, turned his head and said, "My friend Mr. Gibbon won the race to-day." Although Major Anderson is in his ninety-second year, his bodily health is I good, his mind cheerful, his manners easy and dignified, and looks very like, as he is, a gentleman of the olden time. His present vigor of mind and body is an eloquent commentary upon temperance, industry, and cheerfulness, that badge of a gentleman. If the prayers of his friends avail he will complete a century."

Georgia O'Keeffe, My 4th Cousin Once Removed, See Her Ancestry

Over three years ago, I posted "Georgia O'Keeffe and Me" a short piece about my discovery that Georgia O'Keeffe and I share the same ancestry. I am now expanding the genealogy line.. Since, my earlier Field lineage is very long I decided to begin with register generation No. 2, and #6 is our shared generation for Jeremiah Field Ten Eyck.

The shared Field and TenEyck / Ten Eyck lines are indicated in green (my line) and red (her line). We break off at register generation No. 5.

I am very interested in her Wyckoff line since I have a brick wall (and now have about 100 Wyckoffs in my tree, all connected to other lines, but still not giving me a direct line).

Another discovery is the fact that Georgia was born in Sun Prairie, Dane Co., Wisconsin in 1887, which happens to be where my 3rd great-grandfather lived for many years prior to his 1879 death.
