The title of the book about the first hand oral histories is called "Pioneer Recollections". Several of my ancestors are quoted in it and it's a great book.

Merisha,



My brother-in-law's family comes from Dickinson County.  I have 

researched them a little bit and have most of the collateral lines.  I 

have some Elswicks but no Keens (either spelling).



There are two books that I used that might be helpful- one is a 

genealogy of the Counts family as it covers many of the collateral lines 

-_Some descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow_ by Sutherland.  

Second is a book of assembled oral histories done I believe in the 1930s 

which I unfortunately can't remember the title of -I believe the word 

lick was in the title-



You may be able to eliminate William Keens if you can't identify the 

correct one.



Hope you are successful,



Marilyn Jackson
