This is what the message said: A ledger has come into my possession from Gallatin County, IL. It has records of the store owned by the Rev. Robert Reid Family(my line) at Saline mines. In the back are records of the Parton/Partain Family. I am going to copy it as I believe the information may be of interest to someone on this Forum. It looks as thought it was copied from a family bible--or took the place of one. I will try to be as accurate as possible, but it is handwritten and sometimes difficult to read. I would appreciate some feedback and corrections, with your sources. I do not know how accurate this is as it was given to me by the sister of Carl Partain Born 26 Nov 1917 in Hardin Co. IL. and died c 2004. He was married to Mary Agnes Stanley Born 4 April 1920 in Gallatin Co. IL died Dec 1989 in Flora, IL. I don't know if there are any other names in the book. I wasn't too smart about copying this and didn't take down any information from the sender. But it has a lot of the family names of Banister Parton and would like to contact the person who e-mailed this. JoAnn Statom
