Other Personal Events
Probate 8 Jul 1841 Pickaway, Ohio, United States [1] - Abstract of case:
In 1841, the surviving sons of John Timmons Sr. petitioned the Pickaway County Court of Chancery to legally validate a private land partition agreement made in 1833. At the time of the agreement, John Sr. was 77 years old and suffering from "mental derangement." Seeking to preserve the estate for his heirs, the family divided his extensive holdings in Pickaway and Madison counties into ten equal shares. However, because three of John Sr.’s children had died before him, their shares descended to grandchildren, some of whom were minors or lived out of state and could not sign the original contract.
Following John Sr.'s death, the petitioners sought a court decree to finalize this division and ensure all heirs—including the descendants of the deceased siblings—received their "equitable and just" proportions. The agreement also stipulated that the "Home Farm" be sold after John Sr.'s death, with the proceeds used to balance the inheritance so that each of the ten branches received an equal value, regardless of the quality of the land they were initially assigned.The Heirs of John Timmons Sr.
