Anna, I appreciate your kind words. The main reason I did not want it on a web site is because I basically used information from a copyrighted publication and I am not sure about the legalities if I put it out there. That is why I included the note that I created it for my own personal use, which I truly did. It's funny how these things come about, because when I answered the inquiry about a will index I intended to send it directly to the person asking about it and only after I sent it did I realize it went through the website. The way it worked out, I guess it was supposed to be made available to others. I hope it is useful, and I'll give your suggestion some more thought.

A big thank you! I have already found some names I need to check further. This is such a wonderful tool you have unselfishly shared. Even though you do not wish to publish it I encourage you to offer it to Marilyn Gregory Fisher for use on the Wayne Co., KY GenWeb. It would help may other people that way without being published. The GenWeb is free to anyone researching their family genealogy. You may go directly to it through the following URL: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kywayne/wayne.html Again, I thank you and hope you will consider my suggestion.

It is in an Excel spreadsheet by Name of Will, Others Named in Will, and All in Will. I will share it with you if you still have a need for the information, but it is not for publication.

Lois, When an obituary is copyrighted it is legal to publish extracts from it. How is that different from your will index as it was excerpted from copyrighted material? Just a thought to consider . . .

Lois, Since all my ancestors come from Wayne County Kentucky could I be added to the want list also? I'm not into genealogy like I us to be but you know how anything new is like a treasure trove of information. Thank you very much.

Lois, Thanks, thanks and more thanks for sending me the Index to Wayne Co wills that you prepared. I know this must have taken up a lot of your time. Because of the will index, I now know who my great, great, great grandparents are! Thomas b.1794 and Mary "Polly" Smith b. 1797 Marcum. Thomas and Mary had always been on my short list of potential ancestors I only knew that my great, great grandmother (Dicey/Nicey/Vanesa) Marcum b. about 1816/17 had married (2-8-1832) James Sloan. I found a lot of James' ancestors (Sloans and Burnetts) but did not know who her parents were. So, thanks to you I can add Thomas and Mary "Polly" Smith Marcum to my family tree! By the way, James and wife Rachel (what happened to Dicey/Nicey/Vanesa?) were on the 1870 Johnson Co, IL census. Our understanding is that they (Polly's parents) came to IL, along with daughter Mary "Polly"Sloan Arter/Arthur and granddaughter Mary Elizabeth Arter. Mary "Polly" Sloan Arter/Arthur m. Joseph May 10-26-1867, she died c. 1876. Charles Sloan (son of James and Vanesa and brother of Mary "Polly Sloan Arter/Arthur), along with wife Serena and 4 children were also on the Johnson Co, IL census. I guess after Polly died, James and wife (Rachel?/Vanesa?) returned to KY. They are listed on the 1880 Albany, Clinton Co census, ages 76 and 74. Mary Elizabeth Arter b. 1862 d. 1928 m. Jasper Newton Dalton b. 1862 d. 1925 in Johnson Co, IL on 3-22-1885. They are my grandparents and died in Mound City, PU Co, IL. I was born in 1938, so never knew either grandparent, though my oldest brother did as he was 7 when grandfather died and 10 when grandmother died! Again, thanks so much. Charlotte Dalton Burd Olmsted, Pu Co, IL
