In the back is a room they will allow you to enter. The old Probate Books are there! They have not been opened for years!!! I was amazed to find so much on the Knight's! Allot of arrests for killing squirrells and stuff like that. Also allot of arrests for "gaming" anyone know what that is? The names are in alphabetical order so it's really easy to find. People did some crazy things back then. I was really impressed with how much Knight info., was there, which proves all the things I heard as a kid as how "bad" the Knight's were. Very interesting reading material there, allot of skeletons in the closet as well. It gives the reason for arrest, the outcome, the fine, etc. Non for moonshing tho. Patrick
