The following was transcribed from Estate/Probate records from Vigo County, Terre Haute, Indiana. It is difficult to read and as been completed to the best of my ability. The original copies are located at the Vigo County Library-Special Collections, Title of Record: Probate Order Book, Vol 4, 15 August 1864- 13 May 1866. I obtained these records by calling the library. Their wonderful staff researched the books for me and emailed me with the results. All I had to so was send five dollars and copies of these documents were mailed to me in California. Thank you Vigo County Library.
