Thanks for catching my error in transcription - I rechecked everything -- in the will abstract in the book, it is Lemuel Bancroft, instead of Samuel Bancroft as I had listed.
No -- I have not seen a listing of Charles' grandchildren, other than those in the book.
The additional information for children of Ruth and Lemuel Bancroft, other than a listing that I believe I may have already posted, is for the children of Almira (Bancroft) and Steven Wright.The text for Almira is on page 250 and is as below:
ALMIRA BANCROFT was born in Granville, Mass., 11 April 1810 [Granville Church Records], and died in Chicago, Ill., in 1894; married Stephen Wright.
CHILD:
iGeorge Wright, lives in Chicago.
