• Notes

  On July 31, 1874 Perthina wrote a letter to Belle and Alice (Richardson), telling them that they had a legacy from their Grandfather Samuel Truesdale. Evidently she sent the money ($100) from the sale of property, to Fred and Oro. She asked them to give $20.00 to each of Cordelia's children. In the letter she says she is 72 and living with Teressa and James.
