11/16/2000 from Lynn:
.................. There were quite a few Eubanks deeds, but only one good 
"quit claim" that listed the
entire family and heirs. That was a Christina (who was apparently the widow 
of an Anthony
Eubanks). She died 29 Mar., 1912 and the heirs listed were Austin Eubanks, 
H.M. Eubanks, M.F.
Eubanks, Ella West, Samantha Moore, Elizabeth Hughes, Laura Ferneau, and "EX" 
Eubanks
(who was listed later as "Axira")?? There was the notation after ALL of the 
heirs names - "aged".
Isn't that strange? All quit-claimed to Austin, by the way.

Hi Bob,

Finally made it to the Highland Co. Recorder's Office this afternoon. I am
sorry to say that after searching that 1916 atlas of Paint Tp., I was
unable to locate your Eubanks homeplace. That doesn't necessarily mean it's
NOT there. There is no index to these, and one just has to scan all the
tiny letters printed every which way across the plat maps, trying to find
(and trying to see/read) the entries. I will try again next trip over,
before I give up. Every now and then I run across a name I've been hunting
for a long time, and I've looked at the map in question dozens of times
before.

I did loacte a few items that may be of interest to you. I spent a while
checking the indexed deed entries, and came across an entry for an M.S.
Eubanks who bought a lot in New Petersburg on 3 Jan., 1916. It was in-lot
#7. I realize that date is too late to be where your father was born. Then
M.S. sold that same in-lot #7 to N.A. Eubanks on 22 Feb., 1916. He bought
and sold it for $350. That got me to thinking that it might've been some
sort of a family deal. I checked an older index for the same surname in the
same area and found a Cyrus R. Eubanks had bought lots #45 . in New
Petersburg on 21 May, 1814! There were quite a few Eubanks deeds, but only
one good "quit claim" that listed the entire family and heirs. That was a
Christina (who was apparently the widow of an Anthony Eubanks). She died 29
Mar., 1912 and the heirs listed were Austin Eubanks, H.M. Eubanks, M.F.
Eubanks, Ella West, Samantha Moore, Elizabeth Hughes, Laura Ferneau, and
"EX" Eubanks (who was listed later as "Axira")?? There was the notation
after ALL of the heirs names - "aged". Isn't that strange? All quit-claimed
to Austin, by the way.

Hope some of this gives you some food for thought. I took a couple of other
notes of deed transactions that took place about the time you said your
father was born there. Some Eubanks' name from that period were Horace G.,
Oscar, F. Etta, and John S., in addition to some of the others mentioned
in the quit-claim deed.

Let me know if you would like further info on any of these. It may not
happen quickly :), but I will get to it sooner or later.

Take care,
Lynn
