Yes, I got the e-mails you sent me. Thank you very much. I guess I was surprised that Rebecca could buy herself some land. I had thought it was hard for a single woman to buy or sale land at that time. When Joseph Markley (Barney's son) died in Missouri in 1906, his wife Nancy had to go through the court system to obtain custady of her own children in order to be able to sale her and Joseph's farm.I guess he left it to the children only and not her, I don't have a copy of the will. I do have copies of what she had when he died and the court papers she had to get to be able to sale her land.
