I just finished another book which will be my last for a time. I am going to be quite tied up on a large research job and a book order from the St. Louis Public Library for 65 of my books. This is the library, where, in 1970 I started on this crazy thing called genealogy! Here is the description of the next book; I'm working the old records right now. If you would like to see the index, as usual, write me privately. I'll reply as I can between copying books on a very, very old copy machine that - like the old airplanes which I piloted in the past - is held together with bailing wire and chewing gum! Sandi Barren Co Executor Bonds 1848-1860. The first book kept, these are photocopies of the original bonds for those dying with a will. Shown is the name of the deceased, the executor(s), bondsmen; some have the amount of bond which indicates the size of the estate. Has original signatures. An important research tool when relatives or friends are mentioned as the executor or bondsmen. It also gives a close date of death when none can be found in other records. 132 pages including a full-name index.
