In the 18th or 19th century, if a man died and left a young widow, that widow probobly would have asked that her father of brother to be named administator of the estate. This was a common practice, and for the regular genealogist, this appointment is a wonderful clue to the young widows maiden name.
Case in point is my ancestor Christopher Brooks. Christopher Brooks married a Susanna Williams shortly before 1780 in North Carolina or Virginia. Thier marraige records did not show up in Caswell County, NC so at the time I did not know Susanna maiden name. I looked and found administration papers for Christopher Brooks and is stated Susann’s father, Henry Williams, was administrator of the estate.

In 1850 there are 2 Coorads or Conrads In Union County GA. Look at the DNA Match post. William E Nichols Father is supposed to be a Conrad Nichols. Even though these Conrads are definitely not the father of William it is an interesting angle to check out. Were these conrads named after someone? hmmmmmmmmmmm
