Mission Not Going as Envisioned

 

Here we are at Sparta, TN.  This is the old Courthouse that was torn down and a new uglier building replaced it.

We took these before going inside.  We really made no earth shattering discoveries.  But we received free rein in the deed vault.  Those books were heavy lifting!  The old courthouse is were Eli Cooper and Elinda Adcock got a license to marry and where they lived until little James died in a fire when their cabin burned.  They are in Missouri shortly after this event.
