Donzella, Thank you so much for your very helpful email. I am always reluctant to call a courthouse staff and ask for help. Some of them are so busy and consider us genealogists such pests. But I will call her and ask for help with this issue. or write to her. Thank you so much. If it turns out I need "feet on the ground", I will contact you for your daughter's contact information. Please thank her for her kind offer. v/r, Beverly Alexander Culpeper, VA I hear ethereal voices, persuasive, soft and still Daughter, if you don't remember us, who will? alexbev@comcast.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donzella Mullen" <fmullen1@tampabay.rr.com> To: <WVMASON@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 10:04 PM Subject: [WVMASON] Subject: Mary Jane WITHERS,daugh. of Jacob WITHERS & Nancy > Another source for info would be the Mason County Court House, 200 Sixth > Street, Point Pleasant, WV 25550 - Phone - 304-675-1997 or FAX > 304-675-2521 and ask for Dottie Campbell. > > In the Mason Co.
