Mappers,
Thank you all for your very helpful and clear guidance about plotting/platting using DeedMapper or another program. Your advice was very useful, as was the DeedMapper website. I also looked at the Rootsweb DeepMapper list briefly and subscribed.
It looks to me like it would be very worthwhile to try to plot/plat deeds in a specific locality -- a county or an area of a county. It appears that trying to plot a lineage -- say my husband's Phillips family -- from 16-something forward would not be practical. They moved around a lot and bought and sold a lot of land. It appears that each deed would involve probably plotting/platting the neighbors and probably the neighbors of the neighbors, and maybe their neighbors, too.
So if we decide to pursue this, I think we'll work on family deeds in Cumberland County, where there is already a good base of work and where I hope many of our deeds will overlap.
Again, thanks for your help.
Sally Phillips
