    1. [NCROBESO-L] More Raft Swamp Baptist church names
    2. Lynn Prettyman
    3. As I promised, here are names which I copied from the LDS film # 0986268, item 6. I wrote them exactly as they appeared and changed no spelling. The writing was not always easy to read. To save space, if the same name is on the 1886 list, I have indicated that along with any new notes which were written later beside the name. New names are listed after this first list. There are some first names for which I cannot get a feel as the spelling makes no sense.

There is a second list which is dated 1886 on which some of these same names appear, but again, "dead" is the only notation on many of them. 1886 [new names not on previous list] Amandia CHAVIS (dismiss by letter 1881) Sarah HILLIARD Bethia BRIGMAN ?Minny M TYNER Margaret McDONALD viz PURNELL Margaret J BROWN (dead) Mxxxxxxxx LOCKLEAR [first name made no sense at all,I swear it says Mapreverann!

There are still two more pages of woman's names, not to mention the men's names, and this is getting too long. Lynn [email protected]
