My Mom just gave me an old newspaper from Lexington. It was celebrating the 150th birthday of the town. I've got TONS of pictures, info and names. It goes back to 1838. This will be a slow project because I have things I'm doing up here in Tennessee but I do plan to work some every night on this and I might go ahead and upload what I get done each night. I'll have to check with Ellen. If you have Lexington names I'd be happy to check for them.

Thank you for offering to post this information and to do look-ups, too. My Parkinsons have been in the Holmes County area since the 1850's. Some worked for the City of Lexington, too. I would appreciate any info you may have the time to send regarding the Parkinson name. Thanks again! --- "Mari B.
