Thea there was a new book at library-about Sumter Co. Ala. Cemetery Inscriptions and Orphans' Court-found family-so excited-wrote Sumter Co.-he'd been ill for a long time and had already given his possessions away so I wrote again and got the same willl they'd sent me already so now I'm writing for the Land deed index under GR and Mc. Have a fractured spine(there I got to tell you too-loving all this sympathy from my internet family) -but seriously-the book was quite informative-just seems that wherever my family was the courthouse burnt down etc.-sometimes I've wondered if some grgrfa of mine didn't burn it down! frances ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thea Burress" <tburress@libertyfund.org> To: <ALSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 4:29 PM Subject: [ALSUMTER] Hibbler/Johnson > I am looking for information on my ancestors and relatives.
