My friends - I am dropping by today to let you know that I have another segment in our review of the JP land grants ready for distribution. This file covers more of the "W" surnames - specifically: Watkins, Walston, Watson, Wall, Warden, Wray, Waford/Wafford, Wasson, Walton, Waggoner, Warren, Waterfield, Walthall, Waller, Watts, Wells, and West. Subscribers to the mail lists which I host can obtain a copy of this file by requesting it from me by private e-mail and asking for *File LG884*. I will send it as a plain text attachment to an e-mail message unless you specify that you need it as a *straight e-mail message*(which often tends to badly skew the columnar alignments). Time constraints do not allow me to go into the file and extract data for individual surnames, so you will receive the complete file. We are now more than halfway through the 9000+ land grants which were made in the Jackson Purchase region. For those on the JP List, I will return tomorrow with the latest Skills Puzzler solution. -B ============================================================
