Does anyone recognize the below Alexander and James? James should be the L2 James, since he lived in Green Co. before he moved to Cumberland Co., KY and then on to Rutherford Co., TN. However, I believe the known L2 Alexander was born in 1768; died 1850 in Clinton Co., KY. As I read this, he would have only been 12 when this deed was entered in 1780. Any ideas?
