Leo I am pretty heavy into nearby Wilkes County deeds from that period to 1830. Send me the language you need (copy may not be needed), and I will do what I can. Deedmapper website has links to wonderful helps. For others reading this: while in Salt Lake City this summer I ran into 3x or 2x at some or all of the points. Several archivists were stumped, but one called somebody "outside" who had a suggestion I heartily endorse: These indicate something perhaps as simple as two or three x(s) cut on a tree, stump, post, two or three trees or some pointers (spelled pinters in some places) in some form. Appreciate any input from others. Claire Leo Leonard wrote: > DeedMapper Users: > > I recently purchased DeedMapper software.
