The intestate estate file for Horace Seaver contains about 43 images, and most of them are supporting documents that provide an inventory, receipts and accounts. The widow, Louise L. Seaver was appointed administratrix, and a special guardian was appointed for the minor children and grandchildren. The inventory had no real estate, and a personal estate of $701.32. The expenses of the estate reduced the estate to $316.71. The widow received one third of the total, $105.57, and each of the eight named heirs received $26.39.
Horace Sever (1792-1858) is my 4th cousin 6 times removed, with my 9th great-grandfather Robert Seaver (1608-1683) the most recent common Seaver ancestor.
