Fairfield County Green Claims Father Estate Wages
The $2,400 claim by Daniel Green against his late father Patrick Green's $3,000 estate was heard in probate court before Commissioners W Hill and Henry H Gilbert. Daniel asserts a verbal agreement in which the mother planned to pay him $25 monthly plus farm duties, but no payments were ever made. Testimony from Daniel, his brothers, and others, including a housekeeper, details the family dispute over the arrangement and farm work, with conflicting accounts about conduct and duties before and after Patrick Green's death.
