My friends - I am dropping by today to let you know that I have another installment ready in our continuing series on the land grants made in the 8 counties of the Jackson Purchase region. This segment continues with more of the surnames which begin with the letter "H". Specifically, the surnames included are: Hellum, Henson, Henderson, Hendricks/Hendrix, Hensly/Hensley, Henry, Herndon, Herrin/Herron, Herring, Hester, Heslep, Head and Heaton. Subscribers to the lists I host can obtain a copy of this file by sending a message to me requesting it , using the file number : *LG828*. I will send the file as a plain text attachment to an e-mail message, unless you specify that you require it to be sent by straight e-mail(which tends to skew the columnar alignments). You will receive the entire file - time constraints do not permit me to extract data on individual surnames from these files. This file will be added to those now shown as available to list subscribers on the JP Land Grants website. Just as an aside, someone asked me recently what I planned to ultimately do with all of these files when the land grants series is complete. These files will be exported into a spreadsheet program, and cross-indexed by land locations and names, so that we will be able to pull up a tract of land, and see who the first owner was(the grantee), and vice-versa. So there is a plan for these files. -B ============================================================
