  • Notes 
    • I don't think her name was Laura, it was something like Louisa or Lorena or Lovina or Lovisa. In Eunice Wethy's will, where she is named, the letter after the "L" was clearly and consistantly different from other "a"s she had hand written. It is closer to an "o". The subsequent letters, to me anyway, look to be something like "vina". But it's a bit harder to make out. Eunice also had a grand daughter by her son Jacob named "Lovisa". Perhaps that is also Laura's real name, too?
