Want to share with you all, one of my joys in this endeavor and also an experience of the Spooky. I have just found the estate sale of our John Dickson in 1836 Gibson. Had entered it on my program. Ran across a copy of a page I had copied of a person who is maybe connected to our line and not proved. There was a picture of Alvin King, who I had just typed in as buying an ax for 50 cents at the sale. Sure made me feel like I had been there.
