Sarah Bovard Diary and the Scott County Byfields

Thanks to Jan Beasley for pointing me to the Sarah Bovard diary on Genweb.  Sarah kept a diary for several years beginning in 1859.  She mentions many of the families in the area in her diary entries.  The diary has been transcribed, annotated, and indexed so, it is a great resource in addition to being really interesting just to read.

As a side project I'm thinking of trying to map out the families in Sarah's area of Scott county.  I'd like to have a visual aid to help in placing people and families as I read through Sarah's diary entries.
