As I was going through some of the boxes that were given to me containing the papers and notes of Fannie Mae Davis I found this.
Someone (not FMD) took some notes regarding pioneer Campbell County settler Ephraim Pray in a mix of longhand and the not so much used today shorthand (Gregg's).
Deciphering it some…this information may have come from a letter B.F. Moody wrote to his mother referring to Ephraim Pray as “Uncle Pray.” Anyone knowing shorthand is welcome to transcribe for us! Benjamin F. Moody died in 1862 during the Seven Days Battle in Virginia. His home was at the present-day site of Prays Mill Baptist Church.
