Three cheers for the Fayette County Clerk in Fayette County, Illinois. I just received the probate file of Morris
Durbin, my 2nd Great Grandfather. It appears that Morris died intestate.
Ayres Buzzard , his brother-in-law, was appointed the administrator of the estate. Morris died 10 Feb 1880 and Buzzard was appointed 27 Feb 1880. I am hoping to spend some time tomorrow reading the entire file.
