I would like to know that also, ans also where do we search to see how many feet a pole is , when I read a will of the 1779 it states so many poles to a tree then so many to a rock??, How many poles makes a acre??, and how much is a pound and a half a penny??. This would make it easier to know these things. ==== VAFRANKL Mailing List ==== Please Visit the Franklin Co. Web Site http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafrankl/franklin.htm
