How we came by it
• Mary Turnbull
Not a complete set of records
• The documents are labeled 3 (1 of 2), 4
and 5 (2 of 2)
• One can assume that there are at least
documents 1 & 2
• The is no reason to believe that
documents beyond 5 do not exist.
• If at any time the missing records are
found we will digitize them also
The originals are in poor
condition
• They now reside in the state archives
