This was in regards to an estate in Colo. To the best of our knowledge none of the children ever looked into the matter. Nor does anyone know where the estate was in Colo or the exact death date of Samuel. It is not known if there was a mar. in Colo. If the estate was not claimed would it have been taken by the state? If so where would the records be found? Any help with my mystery grfather will be most appreciated.
