Dear Judy et al, Thanks for your offer. I, for one, do not live anywhere near chickasaw Co. - I,m in Kewanee, IL, which is about 350 miles SE of Chickasaw.I'll think of what you might be able to find in the library for me, and send you a note at your address before the end of July as suggested. I visited the library once, but only had about one hour there, as the rest of the weekend was spent in Charles City, where my dad and grandmother were raised. As for the Courthouse, I spent a lot of time there twice, so doubt that I need anything more there. Does anyone know where people who lived down in the SW end of the county would have gone to school in the 1855-1865 era? Was there a newspaper in the county, or did everyone only have the Floyd Co. paper to read then? (Charles City, that is).If there was one, and the library has old copies, that could be a goldmine for those whose ancestors came in the early years.
