Hello List, I'm excited to say that our research trip to Monticello is about to begin. My brother and I have planned the trip for months but we were delayed when he needed a pacemaker. Then there were family visits and birthdays. Now the time has come. My brother left south Florida Saturday morning and arrived in Monticello Sunday afternoon. I'll be leaving Illinois tomorrow and arriving in the late afternoon. We have plans to visit the courthouse, the library, the museum and the Mill Springs battlefield. We also want to see Elk Springs cemetery as well as the Taylor, Draughn, Spann Hill and Thomas Dodson cemeteries. We're working on Lair, Dodson, Loveall, Tuttle, Draughan and Taylor lines. If anyone has suggestions or tips about researching in Wayne county we'd love to hear from you. Linda Lee
