Hi,
Look for info. on CASSEL family.
I have an old cedar chest with writing on the inside of lid that reads,
"This chest and all its contents belong to Mary K. Cassel & Hannah K. Cassel
1884".
This chest was given to my mother after her sister died in 1980, I got it in
1990 from my mothers house after she died.
Am trying to see if this family is related to my family line.

(I've moved away). Yes, there was a Mill, owned by the Scarlet family. It is

a map, it is the area surrounding Hay Creek. I have a book, written by a
relative of mine, Jere Brady, called "A History of Scarlet's Mill" which
contains a lot of information about the area and the families who lived there.

The source of the "killed by Indians" story is: The Historical and

You might try and see if the films can be gotten on interlibrary loan with
your near library. I do lots of research that way and find lots of info.
