Hi folks

For those that might be interested, some new things have gone online tonight
at New River Notes.  http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nrv.htm

On the Main Page:  "The New River Frontier Settlement in the Virginia-North
Carolina Border 1760-1820" by Paula Anderson Green (by permission)
The Civil War Letters of William Day, 54th North Carolina State Troops (Click
on Yadkin on the map to read them) Courtesy of Linda Skinner
The 1808 Ashe County, North Carolina Minutes of the Court of Pleas and
Quarter Sessions.  (Click on Ashe County on the map)  Some funny and other
interesting stuff in that one.  An unexpected indirect claim to Revolutionary
War service for one.  An interesting and funny deposition in a slander suit,
and a prominent citizen too drunk to serve on jury duty.  Spelling and
grammar has been retained as in the original, so you will have to read it,
names arent spelled as most would commonly assume.

For those on the wider State lists who haven't visited New River Notes for
awhile,  There are several new or relatively new things for Smyth County
online, 35% of Grayson County's cemeteries; and Ashe County, North Carolina
Court Orders for 1860-1865.  Additionally several new or actually old
(historic) photos and postcards are scattered around the web site.

Warm regards
