I'll email you what I managed to translate in the 50s, the thing was already shattering then. Last time I saw it about 1997, it was almost unreadable it had gotten so dark and so many pieces missing. Your welcome to use it, possibly raise some interest with some one else. Still looking for 2/3 Burtcher women by several spellings somewhere in your area, 1803ish likely md to ? Haven't seen anyone with a missing grma have you? Right now I'm busy tearing down the play house on the Ramseys with Joe Luther. There is something really wrong there, ages just won't hold for me. Plus I really doubt that John jr that died in Scott Co was 112. think someone along the way has transposed his birth date. It's 1725 now, but looks much better at 1752. And I don't think Hannah was about 30 when she md Belemus Hayden and had kids until she was around 50, just not likely then or now. I know I promised you that Hayden material some years ago, but my husband has just been to ill for me to really work on it, my father in law died, my daughter had a stroke and then my mom died. So things don't slow down a lot around here. I'll get it there eventually tho. I'll try to get the letter off to you sometime today or nite. best, Maggi
