I am refering to Don Paynes mail below on Brooke Payne's boxes of info that are in the University of VA Library. How are things coming on getting the LDS to transcribe Brookes info into a form for us to view online? >From: "Don Payne" >To: >CC: >Subject: Col.

David, Thank you for the update on this project. A few days ago I was prompted by correspondence I had with Chuck Johnson regarding William Payne (m1. Frances Clements; m2. Elizabeth Hawkins), to go through Brooke Payne's Rappahannock County File that I had received from UVA Library a couple of year's ago. I was able to order photocopies of the complete folder from them with no trouble (and suspect they would have copied any other folder had I wished). I just never found the time to really get into until recently. The first thing that I noticed may have some impact on this project. If I remember correctly, one of the issues Don faced is that the LDS had wanted Brooke's files indexed. If that is still an issue, then it might be helpful to know that this Rappahannock County File was received completely indexed. It appears that Brooke had done all of the indexing himself. I can't speak for the other files, but at least this one references all of the names with the page numbers in the file. Additionally, Brooke references the records locations and page numbers. It also appears that UVA has done some form of indexing, at least as far as identifying each collection to a box and folder. Just thought I would mention this as I'm not sure if LDS or anyone else involved has been to the Library to view the contents yet. I hope this is good news. Regards, Patrick Payne
