Jan, thanks for your reply. My ancestor was Walter P. Kennedy. He was
located in Knox Co, TN from abt 1813 till his death but before that was in KY where
he was granted a patent for a textile type machine.

Jan, I have just started researching my Campbell line as I just recently
found out about it, but I was interested in your research of historic textiles
(how interesting!). Not really sure what that involves, but my question is: did
you ever do any research in KY or east TN? My Kennedy ancestors were into
textiles - mills, carding, etc. One had a patten in 1813 in KY.

I don't know if I'm the Campbell cousin to which you refer, but
Happy New Year in any case.

I don't care how little your country is, you got a right to run it like
you want to. When the big nations quit meddling, then the world will have
peace. -- Will Rogers
I do not want to pick a fight. I live far away from Virginia and only visit
there when I can afford to travel and when every one in the household is in
good health, but that is not the case these days.
However, at a genealogical conference in Richmond some years ago, one of the
now-retired archivists at the Library of Virginia explained the
disappearance of some of the records, say, of Hanover Co., a critical county
in my
research.
When the Confederates were surrounded at Richmond toward the end of the
Civil War, they set the wharves on the James River afire. As fires are wont
do
to, this one [or these ones] got out of control and burned the archives at
Richmond, and among the holdings were Hanover Co. records!!! I cannot speak
about other Virginia counties. Sometimes, the official papers seem to
reappear!!! I have a recently published book of Fauquier Co. tithables
wherein
someone in the courthouse discovered a long-covered-up booklet of such
lists. As
one noted lecturer-genealogist-editor explains in her lectures, The papers
we
genealogists want are usually in the basement or the attic of some unknown
repository!!! Wear old clothes to the courthouse, she cautions. Another
lecturer tells of prying people [genealogists] finding official records
tossed out
by clerks who need more storage room. Having visited courthouses across the
nation, I can understand the need for more storage.
Having lived near wild fires for about 30 years [I have since moved] and
understanding how fast they move and destroy, this explanation bout the
Richmond
fires sounds plausible to me. Many a time I have packed a car with some
goods and papers and been told by the Sheriff to evacuate!!!
If one listens or reads unbiased historians, they, like social scientists,
recognize that all humans have good and bad faults. Some of us are tilted
one
way or the other in many cases.
