Hi, listers, I'm back in the transcribing business. I am working on transcribing a book that has some fascinating information in it. It lists everything from child support for bastard children to receipts of updated law books to stock brands & marks. There was one thing that jumped out at me, though. There were two records that really seemed out of place. I found only two records that pertained to the "Registration of Free Persons of Colour". One was named John Warren, the other is Jesse Mahan. If anyone is interested in these records, please e-mail me privately. I'm working on a webpage that should be completed and uploaded before the end of the month. The stock marks and brands cover the years 1837-1869 and include a lot of the familiar names--Dance Brown, Squire Brown, Andrew Graves, Alfred Graves, Thomas Creasy, Masons, Carters, Harrisons, Houses, Harpers, etc. These records will be out in a few weeks. Thanks, Sherry
