Additional Comments:
Frederic/Frederick Cartner had three wives:  Caty Felker, Margaret Felker, and 
Mary Jane Gilmore.  The child listed in this will is his first daughter by 
wife Mary Jane Gilmore.  Frederick and Mary Jane had five more children after 
this will was written - Fannie, Margaret "Maggie", Nancy "Nannie", George 
Alexander, and Mary Lucy.  I would like to confirm the names of the children 
Frederick Cartner had with wife Caty Felker.  Please contact me at
