The Common Room / Re: What is meant by "Statues of distribution" ?
« on: Wednesday 24 March 21 18:41 GMT (UK)  »

Thank you, KGarrard  I appreciate your help.  So somewhere there is a document  about this family and the earlier set up distribution of money?   Somewhere the lawyer has to know what family & names that  are still living to distribute the funds. IS that possible to find this earlier document?  Thanks

The Common Room / What is meant by "Statues of distribution" ?

Hi All

In a 1866 will I am interested in understanding the term of 'Statues of distribution'? 
The  person who has this will written talks of his father's family receiving  three fifths  of the distribution of  the interest money  in some stocks  and his mother's family receiving two fifths.  No family names  are mention so I am assuming that this goes back to an earlier will perhaps of his father.
So what is meant by Statues of Distribution?

Thank you

Thanks so much  for the help of Skoosh  and Jen B.
I have never heard this old saying.
Yes, Jen B.  it does fit into the gist of the letter as she is writing of learning of a person that has  died.

Hi,

I am reading a letter written in 1869 from a lady living in Whitby to her brother who is living in America.  I need help with the saying that this lady writes about --a saying her Mother used to say.

Thanks,

HI

I have the original ship ticket which belonged to my grandmother's family.
I would like to have help reading a few lines in the ticket.  I will shot the 1st part now.

Please help me read this into the English language.  I know the WEBER family lived in Neuchatel, Switzerland and they were immigrating to  Elkhart, Indiana USA. 

Thanks,
Margaret

I also have  family  that settled in Dearborn Co Indiana  from N. Yorkshire. 
Some of my family names were:  John and Jane Smith from Thirsk, N. Yorkshire that immigrated to Dearborn Co IN  in 1818  and then the next year the Hansell family and the Collier family from Danby and Fryup, N. Yorkshire.
  And my John Taylor family immigrated from Whitby N. Yorkshire  in 1830 settling in Dearborn Co INdiana.
Perhaps I can help you with your Robinson family.
