My friends - Since my posting of a few days ago concerning the KY Court of Appeals cases of Thompson vs. Thompson and Beadles & Wife vs. Thompson, in which I listed some of the individuals in Calloway and McCracken counties who had given affidavits and depositions in this case, I have had a number of inquiries about whether the contents of those items might be made available. After looking at the depositions and affidavits, I have decided to offer image files of many of them, and, in those cases in which some of them are too lengthy to be offered in that fashion, I will make them available by photocopy and snail mail, on a reimbursed cost basis. In the listing below are the names of those who gave statements of some sort in this case. Subscribers to the JP, McCracken and Calloway lists can request the image files for these items, with the exception of those that have an asterisk (*) after the name, for which the length precludes preparing image files for them, but interested subscribers can contact me privately and discuss photocopying the pages involved. The images should be requested by the name of the individual who gave the testimony. I am going to place a limit of three (3) on requests for these items, primarily because the size of the combined files will start causing problems on the receiving end, if we go above that number, as there are a fair number of ISP's who place limits on the size of incoming messages with attachments. With the exception of the items involving the Thompsons, Quisenberrys, Breckenridges, Quarles and Beadles families, the general content of the testimony consists of how the deponent was acquainted with Samuel or Albert Thompson, what business they had with one or both, and other such matters related to the case. There may be no family information at all in the items, but one can get a general feel for how these individuals expressed themselves, and step into just a little of their personal lives. Because of the time consuming nature of preparing all of these items, I would ask that my usual suggestion that "if you don't hear from me in 48 hours, query me" not be applied in this case, as it may take several days to get them items out. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken & Calloway Counties - Affidavits & Depositions - Thompson vs. Thompson & Beadles & Wife vs. Thompson - 1867 - 1878 Items marked with an (*) cannot be sent as image files and interested subscribers should contact me via private e-mail for copies.
