New strategy

OK, I've exhausted all the deed records and haven't found much, if any, indication of where William and Sarah came from before Alabama. Now I've found a new place to find the rest of the land records, and hopefully it will have the location that William bought the land from and that will zero-in on the area he was living before he got to Alabama. I've also ordered Joseph Copeland's records. Now I get to wait 60-90 days for the records to get here....man, no one said genealogy is fast or easy!
