How are ya'll doing? Guess who's clearing brush & weeds in the Texas boonies about an hour drive from me. Yes, its the Presidents of Russia & the U.S.A. What a country! I bet Reagan is jealous of Ol' W a little bit. Anyway, I'm new to this list. I hope to contribute a lot, not just ask for help. I subscribe to several other NC, TN & TX lists. Also I help manage some NC & TN counties at the USGenWeb archives. Just venturing into Nash Co. research since I followed the trail of Council R. Bass, son of Jesse Bass, of Nash Co. I'm descended from William B. Murphey, probable son of Parker Murphey of Franklin Co. NC. Looking for any Bass/ Murphey information or researchers. Check out my website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~freshnup/markmurph/ Got some NC newspapers scanned & posted, also lots on Franklin co. Thanks! -- Mark A. Murphy
