Dear Debbie, Thanks for the offer. On a long shot, could you look for the land of John Powell Porter, Jr.? I think this would be his name--or J. P. Porter. His father, is listed on 1870 Census as John Powell Porter in White Sulphur Springs, in southwest Meriwether. Thanks! I bet you're going to HAVE to take the map out of its frame to copy it at a Kinko's or the equivalent. Have never hear of a way to copy something behind glass. I posted to the list at its inception and you suggested I re-post later when there were more subscribers. Time now? Might be a good idea to announce the list's existence again to the GA list, now that there are probably a lot of new Christmas-gift-computer owners. Just a thought.
