Information from Alabama Department of Archives and History. 7/20/70, David Lewis Trawick, Jr." Among other things, the book includes the names of early Henry County Justices of the Peace, constables, district "captains," some judges, some sheriffs, and two lists of voters (one 40 names long and the other 45 names long). I am keenly interested in the early inhabitants of Henry County and wonder what other old Henry County records are on file in the Alabama archives. If anyone, including David Lewis Trawick, Jr., knows what other old (pre-1850) Henry County information is stored in the Alabama state archives and how a person can access it, I would greatly appreciate you letting me know. The ADAH web site is currently no help. Regards, Jim Chumney
