KAT, When I finally get all my eggs in one basket, I'll take time to type out many of these records and send them to you. But it will be awhile. ALL, I found the most interesting things in the deed books. Daniel listed Lewis as a border in an indenture record dated 1772. This combined with Daniel and Thomas witnessing an Indenture during the same year suggests family to me. Will try to look up the Rudd's to see how close they lived to our Akins. Thomas married Avis Rudd. Godspeed.....Patrick
