Description
Rev. Shim, a member of the Iowa M.E. Conference, writes on behalf of one Jacob Bennett, son of Joseph Bennett. Jacob needs to prove that he was not an inmate at the Ohio Penitentiary from 1827 to 1836. Shim would like Finley to research this name. If found, Shim would like information from Finley about the prisoner's size, complexion, etc., in order to prove that the Jacob Bennett in Iowa is not the person who was incarcerated in Ohio.
