Offered for probate, OCPQS 18A/128-130, OCPQS 18/304-305, Feb 1855 (entire text of will is in minutes) – further proof of this will is sought from Justices of the Peace for Ray County, Missouri. Order renewed, OCPQS 18A/305, Feb 1856. Order renewed again, OCPQS 18A/364, OCPQS 18/452, Aug 1856 – says Ellinor Bain, but presumably meaning Kiziah
