I have early land deeds from St Francoise Co MO showing land transactions with a DOBBINS family. Some of my BONDS went to Washington State after MO others I have lost. Can you tell me what county yours were from in KY? Someone else told me mine went to KY before going to MO but I dont know where. I have lots of Info from Morgan Co MO but I'm trying to get into KY and OHIO. IF YOU CAN HELP WITH A COUNTY IN KY I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. Diane Williams
