Tomorrow I am off to the Richard H Thornton library to sort files in the North Carolina Room. Other new thoughts. Check the book Lewis of Warner Hall for Davis information.
Current goals. If I spell them out, I have to do them, right? Organize Davis records, look for estate of Thomas Davis' son who died before he did in the court records, 'hoping' he died in Granville County. Organize and extrapolate tax records to see where everyone was before 1860.
Oh yeah, the 1889 tax book for Frederick County, Maryland. I've got the original remember? Bought at a yard sale after it was picked up on the sidewalk having been deaccessioned by the Frederick County, Maryland system as unimportant.
Had to look. I AM in the 23rd edition of Marquis Who's Who of American Women. 2002-2003.
If you're researching vital records the Who's who series lists birth, marriage and special event data. And remember [hopefully] it is supplied by the applicant making it 1st person information.
