SEEKING INFORMATION ABOUT CARPENTER CULVER AND HIS WIFE, EMILY WELCH CULVER.
Believed to have lived in Henry County sometime between 1849 and 1872. The couple married January 1, 1846 in Wyandot County. They had two children, Laura Jane Culver, born in 1849 and James F. Culver, born in 1855, possibly in Wyandot County. Carpenter Culver is believed to have died around 1872. His will was probated in 1872 in Henry County. The record is at the probate office: Vol. 1, page. 12, Num 30, Admin 369, Admin Emily Culver. I am seeking any information that documents their existence and the relationships in their family. The son and daughter both lived for a time in Putnam County as adults, married and with families.

Sandy,
I checked the database record and see that he died without a will, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as dying intestate (sans will) generated paperwork that can have a lot of information. Someone will be going to the courthouse and scanning the documents for you.
