Thank you Vicky, What a find for my family. It's a rare treat to look back into the lives of our ancestors. Imagine the life style that these objects dictate. Thanks very much for finding this and sharing it with me. My gggrandfather Jamison signed many of the documents because he learned to read and write. He was the founder of the Baptist Church in Burke County and a Justice of the County Court. Do you have copies of the actual documents? I'd love to have a copy for my files. Can you mail it to me ? Don Queen 13614 Lake Wildwood Drive Penn Valley, Ca. 95946 Just let me know what I owe you.
