Notes from Vickie Davidson Rogers!

<back>

I know that from stories from my dad.. that Our my grandma Frank Davidson also at one time was what they call a High Sheriff in Leslie county… and my dad (Morrow) was also at one time deputy sheriff.. …….. Uncle Henry…. my dad told me a funny story aout him and himself.. he said Uncle Henry had saved up money and had bought himself a beautiful new saddle and had it set up in the barn.. my dad being the baby and spoiled an mean no doubt. had gone up into the loft of the barn.. and had peed all over Henry’s new saddy.. he said Uncle Henry was extreamly mad and when he told Paw *( Grandpa Frank) that he got the spanking of his life… how awnery they were then…. What i remember about uncle Henry was he and my daddy always LOVED trading … it was always a watch or a pocket knife that seemed to be the thing and from time to time it was a gun…. I also remember watching them sit , drink coffee and whittle on thier old sticks of wood… and How aunt Essie would cook the best meals.. and how all the family came to eat… and How Tommy and Gracie Blackwell had such a big family… I never got to get with them very often. and could never keep up with all thier names.. but we always loved each other.
