This was great! So many wonderful historical artifacts. Does every county have a research/genealogy center? I know there's a tiny one at my main library, but I haven't gone in, because I figured they wouldn't have info on my family, since it's a different county.
Trying to find out where some of the Virginia Germana descendants were in Mercer before Boyle County was formed. In particular Wilhoit, Henderson, Garr, Cook families. About 1814. Julius Caesar Cook was a preacher at Shawnee Run Baptist Church. Daniel B Henderson in 1850 lived in District 2 of Boyle County.
Good information, but please get a couple microphones and a mixer to make the audio understandable. The acoustics in that room are horrible. You shouldn't be more than 18 inches from most microphones, unless they are specialty microphones like a Shure 644 shotgun microphone. You don't need a fancy swing arm and spit guard like so many on UA-cam use. Just a Cardioid microphone on a short desk stand for each of you and a cheap mic mixer. If bought used, it could cost under $50.. Thre are cheap but usable knocks of famous Shure microphones for under $10 each, and an old Radio Shack or Shure mixer cab be found for about $25. You might even get one from a church or club hat upgraded their sound system. I did commercial sound and Broadcast engineering for many years so I favor the older, rugged and easy to use designs. I see that Ali Express has a clone of the SM57 microphone for under $5 right now.

Sadly no. It would be a very nice addition to any library!
