Clyde;
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am really uplifted by these
stories and histories of the pioneers of Jessamine County. Yesterday, I
copied the wonderful Timeline of Fayette County, KY which was emailed by
Mimi Alexander. I could fit Benjamin Robinson's journey in 1781 from
Spotsylvania, Virginia in that Timeline very well. You and your friends at
KYJESSAM-L are doing a wonderful service for those of us who are not
physically able to visit and collect all this store of information about our
ancestors. Thanks again and God bless you.
