Court records are not necessarily correct. An 1870s Illinois probate case indicated three heirs were the children of Ernestine (Trautvetter) Hess and gave them the last name of Hess. Problem was that all of Ernestine’s sons did not have the last name of Hess and may have been born to Ernestine before her marriage.
