Monmouth, Kennebec County, Maine
Probate Files - 1799-1865 |
|
|
| The following file
contains a listing of probate files for
Monmouth residents from 1799-1865,
arranged alphabetically by last name.
The date of death or of the file is
given when known. The actual files are
kept by the Probate Court of Kennebec
County, located in the Kennebec County
Courthouse at 95 State Street in
Augusta, and the telephone number is
207-622-7558. |
|
|
| It should be noted
that only a fraction of Monmouth's
population is represented here, since
most people either did not have much of
an estate or they made arrangements
before their death to turn over all
property to another person. If the name
of the person you are looking for is not
listed here another avenue for
determining the disposition of their
property is checking the Kennebec County
Registry of Deeds to see if the
individual deeded his or her property to
a relative or another person. |
|
|
| Not all of these
files deal with the settling of estates
after a person's death. The other types
of files, indicated in the "comments"
column, are: |
|
|
|
term: |
type of file:
|
|
minor |
custody of a minor |
|
non compos |
declaration of incompetence
|
|
|
|
| Probate files can be
a rich source of information for social
history or genealogy. The types of
documents that can be found in a probate
file can include a will, inventory of an
estate, accounts of the settling of an
estate and the paying of the deceased's
debts, and legal documents appointing
the executor/executrix of the estate.
Wills can sometimes illuminate family
relationships. Probate inventories,
especially before the 1890's, can offer
detailed information about the economic
status of a family or individual; if the
deceased operated a business and was a
younger person, a probate file can often
include an inventory of that business,
such as an inventory of tools or of the
contents of a store. Accounts can
provide information about borrowing
practices and the structure of a
person's debts. Probate files on the
custody of a minor can provide
information about the legal status of
children, and the accounts in particular
can indicate the level of care the
child(ren) received. Files dealing with
incompetence will sometimes be very
sparse, but can also contain detailed
information in the accounts on the care
of the elderly and the mentally ill.
