Biography
The following article regarding the contested will case of Maria B. Furman provides interesting details about the will and various family members:6
Yesterday the surrogate pled his decision in the contested will case of Maria B. Furman, late of Danforth, admitting the will to probate. Mrs. Furman was the second wife of Deacon Robert Furman, to whom she was married in 1853. At the time of their marriage Mr. Furman transferred to her property in the amount of about $30,000. Furman had two daughters by his first wife, who were Jane E. Adams and Ann E. Furman, who afterward married Dr. John P. Mann. In 1864 Mr. Furman died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Adams, in New York city. Their only son, Robert, who was born in 1858, who was unmarried, died in 1883, and the remainder of Deacon Furman’s estate, which was inherited by his son, came into the possession of Mrs. Furman. The testatrix died May 2 last, aged about 70, leaving no children. Her only heirs and next of kin were Ann Baker, a sister, and the children of Rebecca Emerson and Elizabeth B. Williams, deceased sisters, who contested her will, which was dated November 8, 1882, on the grounds of incompetency on the part of the testator to make a will and on account of undue influence. The will left to Robert Furman Adams of Chicago, a grandson of her husband, $1,000, and left the remainder of the estate, which was worth about $30,000, to her two stepdaughters in equal proportions.
