  Notes	Napoleon apparently died without a will and all fiscal and probate papers relating to the Wiess brothers "were removed at some time in the past and were never returned".  His wife and children got nothing from his death, the description and disposition of his property, if any, is unknown.  One of the riverboats he owned, the "James L. Graham", was in service for several years after that until it blew near Redfish Reef in Galveston bay in May of 1876.  In a lawsuit filed by Cynthia A. Wiess, et al against Margaret Sturrock Wiess, she alleged that 160 acres taken over by Margaret were Napoleon's and hers as his widow. - 1870 census, TX, Jasper county, sub 23, p 29; 497, July 16 - 213/214 WIESS, Margaret, 56, F, W, Keeping House, Scotland WIESS, Valentine, 24, M, W, Dry goods merchant, Texas WIESS, Mary E., 19, F, W, Texas WIESS, Massena, 21, M, W, Dry goods Merchant, Texas WIESS, Elizabeth E., 19, F, W, Texas WIESS, Ann E., 18, F, B, Domestic Servant, Texas Burks, James, 18, M, W, Farm Laborer, North Carolina - 216/217 WIESS, Joseph, 27, M, W, North Carolina WIESS, Catherine, 21, F, W, Texas WIESS, Matilda, 6, F,, W, Texas WIESS, Laura, 5, F, W, Texas WIESS, Milton, 4, M, W, Texas WIESS, Kittie, 2/12, F, W, Texas, b.
