Lil's Note: a wee bit of discrepency here. Sherry Young states that Martha, her gggrandmother married a William Illenberg. Obviously the same Martha - Predmore could be mistaken on the prenom. but her having a marriage date is interesting. Obviously Martha was pretty young.

Young, and her nieces.  Daniel lost his suit.  There are over 150 pages of hand-written testimony in the Goshen Surrogate Office. The farm reverted to the wild and is now a ski slope and chair lift.
