So today I started moving items I have in Pocket online to a Pinterest site. Pocket is nice, now that I think about it Zotero would have been an option, too.
BUT there are two major sites to share:

and looking for where to look:

These links are active for your viewing pleasure.

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.

Pictures of Davis property 1997. House is off the road several hundred feet. There is a path from NC15 that leads to the cemetery. Continue past the cemetery and you will arrive at the house after passing several outbuildings, including the two-seater outhouse.
