Still getting behind on blogging.
Besides lunching with uncles, aunts and cousins, I spent some time in the Laurens County Library. As usual instead of sticking to a plan of attack I used the shot gun approach. Whatever I hit, I copied for later evaluation. On microfilm I have the estate and will of John W Pitts, brother of Edwin Leroy Pitts which I'm transcribing. Not easy interpreting the handwriting. Also William Pitts whom I believed was killed by a slave, George, in 1851 but then the will implies 1848. I can't seem to tie him into a Pitts Family. I'll transcribe this next. I have pictures from various books dealing with Boyds, Parks and McClurkins. I found that my Sony Digital camera works as a copy camera as long as the anti-shake and macro is on and the flash is turned off. The book needs to be flattened though so I will make some kind of glass plate with camera mount.
