Everybody is talking about Vampires these days. This morning I had to go to the phlebotomist. As I was checking in, a rude and obnoxious individual attempted to butt in front of me at the sign-up desk. He wanted to know where he could pay his bill. And out of my mouth, I blurted loudly, “
” Needless to say there was many a chuckle and guffaw in the office and waiting room… and the buttinski moved sheepishly to the end of the line. I received the applause, graciously, and calmly moved forward to have my vein lanced.
As I wrote yesterday, this next Record is just too, too long to put into one Posting. The Record is published in the
from Pages 124 through and including 153. In my research for the origins of ggg-grandfather James Smith this just so happens to be the next Smith-related Record in Item 5 on the microfilm FHL [
This Record was entered 21 October 1830. The following are a few of the year dates that are mentioned in the Document – 1768; 1766; 1771; 1778; 1781; 1783; 1785; 1789; 1790; 1795; 1797; 1798; 1799; 1801; 1803; 1806; 1817; 1822; 1823; 1828; 1829; and 1830. These are quite a number of years and date references.
Another puzzling and intriguing inclusion is that, initially, on Page 125, there is discussion of “
the term of one thousand years without impeachment…” Is that 1000 years from the year of entry 1830, or 1000 years from the first year mentioned, 1768? In either case is the Record referring to either the year 2768 or 2830? Hell, how long do these contracts continue to exist? I do not have any answers, just questions.
Here are the first images of Pages 124 through 133. The next Pages beginning with 134 will follow in my subsequent Postings.
