I have Original Chinn Documents!
I have either a deed or a will that is dated March 1st 1824. It speaks of Sythia and Charles Chinn. As best as I can tell, the land was bequeathed to Sythia. And at the time of her death, it was to be sold to the highest bidders.Its very original, lenghty and difficult to read. It is signed by John Chinn,Joseph Chinn,Eliza or Elijah Chinn another Chinn whose initials I cant decipher, Betsy Chinn. There are two others That arent Chinns and one R. Holmes who may have been the Lawyer?
I also have the hand written family tree from the descendants of the Chinn family. The most notable pieces I have are from Marcus Aurelius Smith. A direct Chinn Descendant from Harrison Co. Ky. I think he was the first Representative or Senator of Arizona. He was the prosecuting attorney prosecuting, or at least attempting to prosecute Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. I have the photo or "cabinet card" of him before Arizona became a state, It was taken at Flys Studio Tombstone A.T. That would be Arizona territory folks! I cant read all the old fashioned hand writing but it is chock full of info about this family back to the mid 1600s. What should I do with these Documents? Are they of any value to a museum? They should be preserved or in a private collection. I have a speech from Smith on Congressional letter head arguing (in his own hand)the pros and cons of Arizona becoming a state. There is alot of info and just have time to peruse it all. Please advise.
