...Randy:<br /><br />Have you tried to get a copy of the bill:<br /><br />Journal of the SENATE OF WISCONSIN, FOR THE YEAR, A. D. 1866.<br /><br />No. 191 S.,<br /><br />A bill to change the name of Devier Lamphier to Devier J. Smith, and constitute him the legal heir of Ranslow Smith, of Dodge county.<br /><br />As it is a legal document it <B>may</B> lay out the reasons for the name change. I understand the legal heir portion was so he could inherit and the death had already occurred. (Then again it may be no more than is written here.)<br /><br />Also, newspaper articles for N.Y. and Wisconsin around the time of name change. May have required public notice.<br /><br />The name Devier. Unusual. Possible it was the maiden name of his biological mother? Perhaps a search for DeVier in N.Y.?<br /><br />Noticed the difference in the worth of Devier from 1850-1860. 1860 he's 21. Did he inherit? Legal documents filed in and around 1860 where he lived or where you believe he was born.<br /><br />Just some random thoughts.<br /><br />-fMfootnoteMavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136826114954180827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-26238352193807037452009-04-16T18:45:00.000-07:002009-04-16T18:45:00.000-07:00Randy,
