Hello Friends, Cousins, Neighbors -- It really wasn't my intention to have the first post to the new Mercer County mail list be an announcement for a book (particularly one about a Sister County), but this particular book is truly a genealogical treasure for those with family tracks in Mercer County and Mercer's neighbors. It's hardbound, glossy, and gilded -- chock full of family data and old photos. It would be a perfect reference book except -- just like Jack Dalton Bailey's book about the Sallee family -- it doesn't mention ME!! One of my Sallee cousins in Jefferson County recently told me that he had driven down to the publisher in Paducah to buy a copy; mine was obtained for me a few years ago by a Harrodsburg cousin (Bea Roberts "Superstick" Norton) who glommed onto one of four copies still available at the time -- it reportedly was locked in a lawyer's office safe in Springfield. I'm glad to see that it's still in print: > Subject: > [KYWASHIN-L] Wash. Co. Bicentennial book > Date: > Tue, 15 Dec 1998 22:08:40 -0500 > From: > "Marcia K.
