Listers: Does anyone have access to this Hardesty's Atlas? Bishop mentions it, but I have never seen it. Incidentally, when I asked about why the House manuscript on the History of Roane Co. and the Pioneers of the Reedy District had not been published, I got the answer that his family hired a typist after he died to type up his handwritten notes. There are some typos in it that have driven me crazy. I have a feeling House didn't make mistakes. He has a reputation as a careful researcher. But someone reading his notes might mess it up. And the original handwritten notes: where are they? House is the only one who lists my 3rd great grandfather David Seaman's son Thomas. Thomas went to Fayette County, PA and had 4 children up there beginning 1829 before moving back to (W) Va and Jackson County. House interviewed grandsons who showed him the Seaman family Bible (which has since disappeared). A Mystery: My great grandmother Mary Jane Seaman was not mentioned in House, and She was born in Jackson Co. in 1839 per her obit. A Lesson: After typing my notes on the computer, I don't throw away my originals. And I use the copy machine at the library if I don't take notes. It has saved a lot of grief. (Of course I sometimes feel responsible for the demise of a forest of trees! 8-) Marilyn Steber in San Diego, Ca. ------- Pvt. William B.
