I found on the Kentucky's Unclaimed Property Site. My mother was also Julia Spalding, so I researched thinking it could have been her. What I discovered was a Julia Spalding of Houston, TX. This information is not published. You can go to www.kytreasury.com and type in Julia Spalding. No other information. When I inquired with the Unclaimed Property, they could only tell me it was missing heirs fund and reported by estate of Sarah Julia Smith. I searched the internet and found she was of Kentucky and then searched for her public will at the courthouse. Her Will leaves $$ to Julia Spalding of Texas. Too bad, my mother was from Louisville. I sent all of this information to KY's Unclaimed Property, including the copy of the Will. Never heard from them and don't know if they kept it or threw it out.C.
