Hi Stephanie, To the best of my conclusions the Draper Papers are notes and letters etc. which Draper received from Renicks and maybe other families, which relates stories about the Renicks. I am sending this to the lists in the hopes that someone can be more specific about what they are. I have several bunches of information including a copy of the Renick Book, and some Archer information, which details things which were apparently part of the Draper papers. One page indicates for example; that it is a letter by James H. Renick, written to Draper in 1890. It is number 4cc129-129-5, and there are indications that the part in the Archer info, was microfilmed, and part of some Kentucky Papers. It says "In Library of the State Historical Society, Wisconsin. Taken from Photostat Copies at Kentucky State Historical Society, Frankfort, Ky. It was contributed to the Archer Assoc. by Susannah Hart Shelby Chapter, Frankfort, Ky. " Various other sources also reference this information. Hope this helps. Your information is in the mail, Stephanie. Happy hunting, Joyce in Ca. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3231/">Our Extended Family </A> In a message dated 6/22/99 6:01:25 PM !!!First Boot!!!, [email protected] writes: << Subj: Re: Hamilton Papers Date: 6/22/99 6:01:25 PM !!!First Boot!!!
