Visit to the Library

Today I had a chance to visit the Main Branch of the Spokane Public Library.  I just realized a few weeks ago, just how extensive the genealogy section of our library is.
I found out a few neat things about our family.  Considering that I didn't plan the visit today, nor did I know what I was going to look for or at...
I started at the first thing that struck a memory.  I found the Washington section, and the Stevens County records.  After looking in the indexes of several books, I found Henry and Jennie's cemetery records in "Washington State Centennial Project Enumeration of Stevens County Cemeteries:  Book Three Rural Area Cemeteries"  by the Northeast Washington Genealogical Society.  On page 66, Page 9 of the Cedonia Cemetery records noted the following:
Lot 158     Grave C     Jennie E Keyser     1864-1917 {The date is written wrong, it should be 1947}
Lot 158     Grave D     Henry E Keyser     1858-1940

Also included in the cemetery book was a copy of "Who's who is Cedonia Cemetery" By Dorothy _________
It included the following:
"Lot 158
Mr. and Mrs Henry Keyser are here.  they lived up the south fork of Harvey Creek behind the Mel Dashiell place.  They had one daughter, Winnie, who married Ray Emerson of Fruitland.  One of Winni's daughters is Irene Ring of ________.
They were faithful Christian people and Mr. Keyser is remembered by the author as loving to sing, but not much in the way of carrying a tune, but was _____ with accompanying gestures."

I also love to sing but can't carry a tune :).

The second record I found was "Catalogue of Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors of the Commonwealth of Virginia to whom Land Bounty Warrants Were Granted by Virginia for Military Services in the War for Independence" compiled by Samuel M. Wilson from Official Records in the Kentucky State Land Office at Frankfort, Kentucky
On page 45
Warrant Number 3074, Keyser, William, awarded 100 acres, rank of Private, Virginia State Line, 3 years, May 12, 1784.
On page 103 of survey records
Bundles 5 and 6, No 143:  Thomas Booth surveyed 2,000 acres on July 17, 1774.  By Jno. Floyd, Fincastle Co, on waters of Elkhorn, about 20 miles from Ky. River - John Draper's land - William Russell's land - Ass'd to Patrick Coatts - to High Innes - to William Ingles.

The third record I found is in "Genealogies of Virginia Family: From the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Volume V  Randolph - Zouch" Indexed by Thomas L. Hollowak
I'll write more about it tomorrow.
