Debbie, Thanks! I got the will-clear reading. I'm wondering about your suggestion about deeds, tax lists, probate records. How do I access this information or can I online. I think Thomas Peters owned land in Hardin, but I do not know about James S. Peters. Could not find any land owned by James in info at Brown-Pusey House, but new info opens up all the time. By the way, do you know the how I sign up for the LaRue, Nelson, Washington Counties' list serves? Thanks again so much for your help! Carol
