My great-great grandfather died at Andersonville. That led to the State of New
Jersey giving her 30 days to put their farm in the hands of a man, as women
could not own property in their own right. She married the handyman, who
promptly sold the farm *in Passaic/Clifton NJ) because it was gaining value, and
he believed God's will precluded getting rich in any manner other than the sweat
of his brow.
So he sold it for almost nothing and moved the family to Western Michigan so
they could be poor farmers without the chance of incurring God's wrath.
Cheers,
Jim
