Thanks much John. It is interesting that you should mention Holtzclaw in that I had gone to Fayette, in Howard county, to secure copy of James Holtzclaw's Will. However, due to the condition of the book, I was not allowed to copy but was advised that microfilm is available in the archives. What peaked my interest was the fact that James Holtzclaw's Will was 'administered', but not only was his will 'administered' but also those on the adjoining pages. I thought those circumstances to be highly unusual! (It just doesn't smell right!) ~don
