Re: Looking any information concerning the Schrimsher plantation

Yes, I hire someone a couple of years back and she made me copies of everything she could get her hands on and then I went a step futher and contacted the mapping office and had the old land lauguage converted into todays lauguage so I could locate it.. Then on top on it they sent me a map of the the land in question and the old Shrimsher lands are now ahousing division and the other is still being developed at that moment in time. My mother personally talk to land owner that wasclearing the old lands and he saidcould see the some graveyards on top on a hill which are snake infested and over grown. I hoping one day soon someone could get permission to go up there and find who's buried up there. Might fill in some holes in my time lines in my family. I will dig through my research and get you the information you need. And by the way the lady who did research for me said she went out to where the land was. She stood on the side highway and see where the old Shrimsher lands where. Too bad we couldn't keep the land in the family, but what T.B. Grimmett did was legal back then and above board (and away went our family history.) Also I had a the lady look for a last will and testament for Kittie at the time of the death and there wasn't one. And I had look under all the names Kittie had use back then and zip so T.B. Grimmett basically got away with it.
