Bill, The only ones I have are from the cem bk. Are there more? I have found some mistakes in the listings of my family in the Volman cem, so I am always looking. I recd the land records for my Frank GARDNER from 1906. A John Magie(age 54) was a witness as well as Alex McGrew(age 42), Billy Bean and John Douthit. I didn't find John Magie in the cem bk. I don't know who John Douthit is but there is one in the Nooner cem(no dates) Blacksmith in the AR calvary. Billy Bean and John Douthit's aff. were not included in my file, but there was a notice from the Perry Co News with the posting of the property and the names were included. Billy Bean was Frank Gardner's son-in-law. Sure wish I could connect with some of the family that I know must still be in Perry Co. Frank had 13 children! So, there has to be descendents other than me!
