    3. We should make a collection of all of these for now land in the future. I have had three great moments and one very terrible moment walking in my ancestors’ shoes. First great moment: My first trip to Madison County and finding a piece of Adam's original land for sale. Second great moment: Touching the deed book from c.1728 where Adam Yager's original land patent was recorded (Spotsylvania Court House in Fredericksburg). Third great moment: The first service I attended in the Hebron Lutheran Church Worst moment in my life: After researching the Adam Yager's original land patent and following the deeds and transfers from 1728 to the present, not being able to buy the land and keep it in the family for another 270 years.
