Bill, you are the greatest! The amount of work you have done with deeds, cemeteries, etc., is amazing, and everyone researching in the areas you have covered has or will benefit. Thank you! I have quite a few pages from those deed books to request, but will do so in a private email. When I was in the courthouse, I just abstracted the deeds I wanted, as there was no copy machine available and I didn't have a digital camera (assuming such existed at that time!)
