This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Johnson, Blevins, Parsons, Green, Roark, Howard, Brock, Saylor Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AB.2ACI/6871.1 Message Board Post: Lisa, I needed information on a trial that took place after an 1918 killing in Harlan Co. I contacted Chester Ward at 821 Glenn Court, Owensboro, KY 42303-0520 and told him what I knew which was only the year it occured, the victims names and the name of the perpetrator. Mr. Ward got all of the information I could have asked for and he is very reasonable. The information was worth a lot more money than he charged for it. The trial was moved from Harlan Co to Bell Co and he got me the records of both counties from somewhere at the state archives. They didn't do an actual transcript then like we know them today. It's more like the minutes of a meeting. It will tell the names of everybody concerned, including the names of jurors and witnesses and where they live, the amount of bail, who put up the bail, and whatever was decided. You can also contact Mr. Ward at chesterward@mindspring.com Just tell him everything you already know and what you want and he will give you a price before he does anything so you will know what to expect. Good luck and I hope you find everything you are looking for. Joyce Shannon Zandri
