Julia: Thank you. I appreciate hearing from you I have been seeing the news reports and thinking of you, Betty Flo & Walter. I am going down to the meeting tomorrow about the Lincoln County Heritage book. I was going over some material and I had always took it to mean acreage, then I realized it was probably value. I am trying to put together something on my Prosser family that settled in Moore County for their book. It is hard to tell a lot except that they had 14 children and I suppose it took that many for a hill farm in Moore County. I do not see how in the world those people made it back in those days. I wished we knew more of the history of the area. I read Dr. Bradley's book "FIRE AND BLOOD" and it was interesting. Needless to say our Ridge area was close to an area where the people were being harassed in one way or another. Of course my original Prosser family was dead by the time the war occurred, but some of the children served in the war. I did not realize that there was as much division among the people with their loyalties until I read it. Seemingly, Shelbyville and Bedford County were pretty divided.
