Hopefully it will get thru from me, though since I'm in a hotel right now, it may not -- sometimes hotels' internet settings "bounce" any message it interprets as possible spam going to many recipients;( So if this doesn't work, I'll ask Elaine to post it for us. I appreciate learning about it. Cheers, Barbara (BPN) > From: "Sarah Poythress" <dpoythress@nc.rr.com<mailto:dpoythress@nc.rr.com>> Barbara, I sent this to the list.

Libbee, thanks for your response re the Mecklenburg Co, VA Heritage Book. Glad to know the message got thru on the P-List. I would be interested in knowing the title & author of the book about Ebony that Julie referred to the other day in her List message on 10/7/05, captioned "Poythress creek and the Rappahannock river-and Dortch connections" in which Julie asked you if you knew how to get a copy of a book you had mentioned on 4/12/05 "...the book on Ebony, Virginia is filled with great info also." Thanks, Barbara (BPN)

The book is called A. History of the Ebony, Virginia Area written in 1993 by The Richard Baird Family. It is a wonderful book filled with great information. I think this is the book you are referring to. I have one extra if there are no more available from Richard Baird. Thanks for all your info. I am excited about the Heritage book on Mecklenburg. I have one recently written on Warren County in North Carolina that is wonderfully done. I plan to send in some items. I tried to e-mail the address you supplied but it did not go thru to get the info on rules and cost. This would be a wonderful avenue to post the unsolved murders of the Cannon brothers and cousins back in the twenties I believe it was. May Lyn will pursue this endeavor. Thanks for all the info.
