Hi,

I wonder if you might be able to offer a suggestion as to why Mary L. Cornell (wife of Sanford) was provided a legacy in the will of Mr. Thomas Gainer, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His will was dated May 24, 1882; he died in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on April 26, 1884 (born November 5, 1807). He was the son of Thomas and Mary Gainer of Donegal Twp., Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania -- Thomas Sr. died between 1820 and 1830; Mary was still living in 1830.

There were about a dozen heirs to Thomas Gainer's estate and I am just beginning to sort them out.

I assume the Thomas G. Cornell among the children of Sanford and Mary Cornell was Thomas Gainer Cornell, no?
