Yes, in various court houses you may find that there are boxes labeled
with a particular ancestor's name. Sometimes these boxes will contain complete
Estate papers, deeds, etc. Such was the case in AR of our Mason ancestor. I
believe this was done because all those papers took up so much space in
the filing cabinets that it made more sense to provide boxes and label them
to place on shelves.

Earlier Fern mentioned that occasionally, pockets of information could
be found at courthouses that possibly existed nowhere else.
I've always wanted to believe it could happen but was afraid it was an
urban myth.
Have any of you actually had the good luck to find a collection no one
else seemed to know of?
