Julie, great that you were going to LVA again on Saturday & planned to look at more chancery records. Sorry I didn't see your message until catching up this morning. Regarding the case you mentioned planning to check out "Rebecca Taylor vs. Adms David Dortch" I would be glad to reimburse you for the copying costs you incurred at LVA if you indeed copied this one. I'd love to see the copies & I'm quite interested in learning everything about this case. Re the other one you asked about: I'm not sure whether or not I've already looked at "William L. Portress vs. Exr. of Nancy Thomas" Without knowing the county and the case number assigned at LVA, it is harder for me to know if I've seen a "Poythress" case. So if you'll please share the citation, I'll be glad to check my laptop for the ones I've already worked on -- I've saved my transcriptions of chancery court cases using part of the county name & the year/case number, such as: CCtMeck 1808-008 Thanks so much for your work on these matters at LVA!
