A Gift

Today a cousin sent me a transcription of a court case that ties my great great grandfather to his father. Before this, I have never seen the two connected in any way, other than by family word of mouth. Thanks, cousin! One neat thing is this very distant family cousin is also very distant geographically...half a world away. The wonders of the technological age!

Will of John Johnson in South Carolina

I'm fairly certain that last night I found the will of one of my ancestors, because the names are right and one of the witnesses (Stephen Sullivant) appears in both South Carolina and Kentucky. I plan to keep double checking, but I'm happy about this discovery!
