William J. Farrell In Family Imbroglio

Interesting background here from the NY Supplement Vol. 1 and NY State Reporter Vol. 144 from June - July 6th, 1908. Great-grand father WJF and our grandmother's mother Leocadie Llado Farrell, a French-born Spanish widow (Francisco Llado died Aug. 28 1884 ) who WJF married and with whom they bore our grandmother Leocadie Farrell Casademont and great Aunt Margaret Farrell Conlon. (who married Judge Conlon, who bore uncle Joe Conlon and aunt Marie Conlon Gregory). To make a long story short, great-grandmother Leocadie Llado Farrell died (Mar. 19 1891) when Leocadie F. Casademont was an adolescent and WJF became executor of her estate, which included considerable rental property in Spain valued at $529.46 over which WJF was sued by Francisco's son Luis Llado. WJF sold said property on mortgage foreclosure to pay Francisco's debts; justice was done, WJF prevailed, motion was denied and by order of the Surrogates Court of King's County,(borough of Staten Island) with court costs of $10, paid by Luis. All concurred and the case was closed.
Note: $529.46 was a tidy sum at the turn of the last century; I'd surmise close to $25,000 in todays economy.
