In Scott and Angel's book about the 13th regiment my ancestor, W. M. Bishop attest to the capture of Gen. Morgan at Greenville and this was recorded in the Clerk and Master office and is there in the book. They wouldn't permit me to go look for this and said they couldn't find it. I know of no other county that keeps records from the PUBLIC. I have a great repect for the archival records but I believe this woman wants to hold on and publish a lot of information herself. It will take legal action, I'm afraid to remedy this situation. If anyone in this area can at least show these emails to a judge they may have pull with perhaps, things will improve.
