    "Grandpa, Jacob P. Hesson always told us and he showed me when I was about 14
    of an unsettled estate.  It was in a book of unsettled estates and I believe
    under John Mercer.  It was on his wifes side.  It was suppose to be New York
    property and was the Mercer estate.  The mercerized cotton thread.  He said
    his wife signed a paper once on a 99 year lease.  This may give you something
    to go on.  If there was any money it would never reach us, but be interesting
    if a person could find out something on it.  I saw it in a book he had of
    unsettled estates."  Taken from a letter written to Jan Hahn Conlin by Mary
    Hahn Miller in April, 1977.
