Strays 1797-1848 - Explanation In the 1980’s, while in the court house, I found a court book titled Strays 1797-1848. I copied the information contained in the book one year, but when I went back to find the book and make corrections the next year I was unable to locate it. The book is still missing and I have never been able to make the corrections. I believe others will be interested in this information so I have submitted it for listing on the Historical Society website. There was an index in the book, but it was incomplete. I have made an index indicating page numbers from my compilation. I did list the page numbers from the original book within [ ]. There were also pages missing from the book. I had made Xerox copies of pages 33, 39, 62, 63, 64, 65 & 333 from the original book. I have scanned those pages and include them in my submission along with a separate index for those pages. Pages 33 & 39 are in two sections for top & bottom in order to get the whole page. With pages 62-63 & 64-65 each record covers both pages. I hope this will be useful. Rosemarie Pell
