My friends - I now have another segment prepared in our series on land grants west of the Tennessee River in the Jackson Purchase. This file contains more of the surnames which begin with the letter "A", more specifically the surnames: Arthur, Armstrong, Arent, Archer, Arnold, Arledge, Ashburn, Ashbrook, Ashly, Ashworth, Asply, Atkinson, Atherton, Averitt/Avritt, Abernathy, Andess, Atteberry, Ashell, Amos, Abney, Asteed, Austin, Akes, Agner, Acurn, Arnett, Alford and Atkins. If you would like a copy of this file, let me know and I will get it to you - please specify file *LG7878*. As the tenured members of this List are aware, I have had to start giving file numbers to these segments, in order to retain some ability to manage them and identify them quickly. I will send the file as a plain text attachment to an e-mail message, unless you specify that you need it as a straight e-mail(which often will skew the columnar alignments). You will receive the full file - time constraints do not permit me to go into the file and separate out the data for individual surnames. A listing of the other installments in this series, with their file numbers, can be viewed here: www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/JPGrants.htm For those on the JP List, I'll return later with the solution to yesterday's Skills Puzzler. -B ============================================================
