Subject: Re: SCROOTS-D Digest V98 #164 From: Dwight David Dennis Date: April 21, 1998 I've bit my finger and stayed out of it but I'm all for Steve,action was needed,the person who insulted Steve also belongs to the most out of control lists I've seen,which would be a very good list with a little similar disipline but I had to unsubscribe it was so unruly. I'm on jury duty and have spent all day cacthing up on transriptions or abstracts while I waited to be called. I'm not ready to post anything that will be archived and most only pertains to my DENNIS surname but what I have typed up is availble in a unfinished form at http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/richard.htm The following is not really genealogically signicant but I found it interesting and amusing that it would be a matter to handle as seriuosly as a deed. >From Sumter County "Deed Book NN p.56" Elisha McCoy to William J. Muldrow Sale of Livestock Mark State of SC,Sumter District Received of William J. Muldrow ten dollars for my mark (the same being a smooth crop in one ear and two spilts in the other)to hold all hogs from date in said mark,and all other stock after the first day of January 1851.This 7th day of January 1850.___ Test. Jas M. Montgomery Elisha McCoy It goes on just like any other major conveyance,with someone swearing to have witnessed the document to the clerk.-- Dwight David Dennis,1014 Ski Lodge 3,Birmingham,Al.35209 [email protected],http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
