No, Only the same rumors as everyone else. I spoke to the Liberian at the Library at Philadelphia and she was making arrangements to get a grant to receive the records from his daughter restore and catalog them and dedicate them to lawyer Weir but nothing doing. The woman still wouldn't agree to anything. There are rumors that range to (1) the records were kept in boxes in the basement and were flooded and ruined, (2) they are afraid of lay suits because of their contents. Our Lea family took a pedigree chart that was said to be two feet long. Of course, no copy was kept. It was said that a Senator Magee had it at one time. His son had lived in Meadville but he had no idea what I was talking about. He contacted his sister that lived in FL and she didn't know where her father's papers were. No progress has ever been made that has shown any NA blood.
