Jacob Mansfield Estate record Filed 15 Feb 1870 Elijah Edington was the adminstrator. It list Mary Crow as one of his children also Walter Mansfield, David Mansfield , Riley Mansfield, Jane Hardesty,and Elizabeth Ferguson , William Mansfield

He fathered 21 children of which all are not accounted for. By Anna Maria he had 4 as listed, with posiblity of 3 others. The others by birth date in relation to birth dates of children of first marriage has been placed in the second marriage; but till we find out how to divide the children except's Nancy's; Which he had two children, so between 1st and 2nd lives he had 19 children and how many to contribute to each marriage is undeterimined at this point in time. By the 1850 census all but William and Riley if living were out and married and living on there own.
