Margie,

You might remember that I traded a couple of messages with you a few months ago about the Lang and Brunner families. I was in the Lawrenceburg Library recently and viewed the records for damage claims made after Morgan's Raid. I noticed that Barbara Lang submitted a claim for a horse valued at $135.00. There was no record of what was actually paid out by the State Just a little item to add to your family history.
