INHERITANCE:

Georgia Probate Records 1742-1990, Morgan County, "Administration and guardian records, appraisements, citations and sales 1850-58", Page 13, Image 32/591:

Report of John Robson, guardian of Lucy M. Reese, orphan of Joseph Rees, deceased:

Income from June 26, 1834 until January 1838 consists mostly of a large sum from the administrator and an annual amount from hiring the Negroes. Payments are made from January 1, 1835 until a final payment of $1880.18 is made in January 1838 to Jesse Vason in right of wife.

BIRTH YEAR:

Lucy's birth year is a guess based on the assumption that the children in the 1834 distribution of Negroes from their father's estate are in chronological order of age.
