What a great site, Bushy! I encourage everyone to go have a look as there are some wonderful treasures there, and the site includes many more Marlboro and Marion County surnames than listed in Bushy's query. A few I spotted at a quick glance in the deeds section were QUICK, BULLARD, PORTER. Wow. Y'all have just got to go have a look. It's great!

Thanks so much for putting all those wonderful photos and documents online. Cheers, Victoria

Hello all, found a few items today at the FHC. Really would love to hear some feed back on the Bullard line or if there is someone with a web page showing this line would be great. Does anyone have a web page for the Porter/Parker/Potter line? Is Robert Potter related to Abijah Porter? Some do not have their Patent Bk numbers and I apologize for this I thought I had found them all but there were some folks using loud voices making it quite hard to concentrate. I think I am going to purchase this book it appears to have the needed info to locate what county a person may have been in.
