However, none of the records are in his own hand. It is the one explanation that makes sense and why is he not listed as a party in the Chancery case about their father's land? He was alive. That E. M. Beard is Albert is my weak working theory at this point, but I don't think it would meet any standard of proof.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-83544086675014592182018-04-27T08:52:47.396-04:002018-04-27T08:52:47.396-04:00I did a quick look through of the chancery record....I did a quick look through of the chancery record. Could it be that Albert may have spelled his name Elbert? From the order the children are listed it would seem that E.M. would be Albert. How is he listed in census etc.?Cathy Meder-Dempseyhttps://openingdoorsinbrickwalls.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
