Regina, Thanks for sharing! I loved reading about the different occupations. The information was both interesting and educational. I hadn't realized there were specialist in those days. Sarah certainly kept busy, didn't she? We are trying to learn where our, Elizabeth CRENSHAW, worked as a seamstress in 1860. I recently read that Brookport had a button factory in the early 1900s. Maybe this could account for the need of so many seamstresses. Buttons go on clothing. Could there have been a clothing business? Those arrest for running a Tippling House didn't usually involve a stiff sentence. While researching court records, I found they were more like a slap on the wrist, and probably an embarrassment. Dr. Covington could belong in Bill's and my CRENSHAW line.....we have some rascals too. Mary Jo
