Comment by William Carradine on February 25, 2012 at 6:54pm: My ancestors are mentioned several times in McBee's Natchez Court Records. I have often thought of finding the David Harper volumes, but have never done so. Am I likely to find additional information of interest in those books? Where are copies of those volumes located? Thanks,
