My friends - I am dropping by today to let you know that I now have another segment ready in our continuing review of land grants made in the Jackson purchase region. This file contains more of the "P" surnames; specifically Piper, Price, Philly, Priest, Pitt, Pickett, Pitman, Prior, Pettypool(P'Pool), Poole/Pool, Porter, Polk, Powell, Polsgrove, Pointer, Potts, Ponder, Puntney, Plumlee, Purdom, Punctney, Puryear and Pirtle. If you would like a copy of this file, let me know and I will send it in your direction. Please request *File LG859*. It will be sent as a plain text attachment to an e-mail messages unless you specify that you need to have it by straight e-mail(which often will skew the columnar alignments). You will receive the full file - time constraints will not allow me to extract data from these files on a single surname. The web site with other available JP land grants can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/JPGrants.htm The Jackson Purchase FAQ Page has been updated and redesigned. It is available at: http://users.arn.net.~billco/jacksonfaq1.html For those on the JP List, I'll be back later with the solution to the latest Skills Puzzler - we have had a lot of good responses to this one. -B
