Kathleen, Of course you know many of us locals can check this out when time allows. Normally, when I am doing court house research it is for a specific client's work. This is why I hope you'll sign up for the free ancestry data base where you can make all the source notes and comments you'd like. It would cost you nothing, and you can add citations all day long, though I must say I would prefer original sources over all the secondary source abstracts that are often cited here as "proof." For example, far too often I see Headley's book on marriages cited as some sort of gospel. Hogwash! If you track down his sources, you'll often find out you've been led down a rabbit hole. A recent example was in the Gaskins family, where Headley cites Tyler's Quarterly vol. xyz an page 1234455. Yeah, looks authoritative, until you track that down and that article says no such thing whatsoever. Lies piled upon lies. Gotta be careful, Kathleen. And to this end, the ancestry database really can be the authoritative end all and be all, if we all upload our original source documents from the court house itself, and not from some book. I do hope you will reconsider your previous opinion on this issue. Craig On Oct 2, 2011, at 8:31 PM, Kathleen Much wrote: > Does anyone have access to the original record to check the date?
