I am somewhat familiar with the Southern Claims Court records (or at least some of them in GA) but as for the Bright and Lassiter names given, I am not familiar with any Bright named Dennis (although there were some Bright's related to our area residents in AL) and not familiar with ANY Lassiters in LA from our area. This doesn't mean these are not connected, I know I do not have everyone.

He sent it because of the Bright name but the Lassister name also was in our area. Any of these people ring a bell with any of you? Not quite sure what to do with the file since none said NC.
