Be still my heart... Consider those babies mentioned below purchased. But, Ken, I really want those map books you spoke of earlier, since I have dozens of land transactions in Charleston prior to 1800 that I am trying to follow and figure out their locations now. Luckily, nearly all are on existing streets, but house numbers then versus now are perplexing. Do you think I can still get those map books at Gibbes Museum or the Charleston Museum? Then I also want maps of Old Berkeley, St. James Goose Creek, St. Thomas/St. Denis Parishes, Charles Towne before 1700, etc., hopefully showing landowners. Oh my, time to put a third mortgage on the house.
