Subject: Re: James Barber, son of John of Anson County
David,
Since the copy I have is typed, I went ahead and scanned it in. I left
the typos in that were in my copy. I'm going to paste it in at the end
of the note, but I can send it as a Word 95 document attachment if you
would rather have it that way. Its got a map of the plat of the Abraham
deed. I can send it as an image file if you would like it. Can you
handle a JPEG compressed image?
I've included all the Barber deeds I have but I'm thinking about
ordering some more from Anson. It will probably be a couple of months
before I get around to it.
