HUHG HUH, Right You are CUZ, BUT da last time That I saw anything Bout dat
Fire it was Undecided Just who set that Fire, Da REbs Or da Yankees. OK
Ya say it was da Rebs, Probably was. My Nephew has The Lankford Family BOOK
& it says that one of the Lankford Family Members that Burned the King
William County Court House & the King & Queen county records were also there.
Now if ya Wish to see this it is ON line, and That The Guy was HUNG.
ANY HOW, there is a whole lot of going's on in Our anmcestry that we will
not be able to find a record of. OH WELL, I still believe that our people
had too much to do & the fact that so many of them could not read & Write
that , Excistance was More important to OUR ancestors than POSTERITY. CUZ AT

Can’t blame it all on the Yankees. I heard that some of the county
records that were burned were actually shipped to Richmond for safe keeping
during the war. It was the retreating Confederates that burned Richmond.

So much About Record_______??
I am unable to understand the 21 centry MIND SET, on Record?/
WHY, Well Many of our Ancestors Could not Read or Wright, so Why would
some who could not Read OR Write be able OR concern them selves wioth a
record???
And with the Adverse conditions that OUR Ancestors exstied under why would
they be interested in haveing any of it to remember??
With the Hardscrable existance that those people experienced, Why would
any one think they would care to have it lingering on, The only Record of
importance was a Last will & testame4nt, & how many hundreds of old wills have
we found; SO; HIS X MARK & we are going to say that GRAMPS was Concerned
with a Record. There were many Records BUT the Yankee Witless Nits
Burned them.
The Court house in King William County Va. was Burned By a Member of the
Lankford Family, Course he was Hanged.
Finding anything about our Ancestors is LUCK. CUZ AT
