One of the deeds for William McMahill provided considerable information; in fact, three generations were listed. The entry is an indenture dated 12 June 1827 between Ambrose Barnett and William McMahill Jr., both of Nicholas County, Kentucky. The land record begins, "Ambrose Barnett for and in consideration for the natural love and affection which he the said Ambrose Barnett bears and hath for him the said William McMahill jr. and for consideration of the sum of $1.00. Further in the record, it stated, being part of the land on which John McMahill now lives... (This was the property for which Susan released her dower in 1832; so John's death can be narrowed to between 12 June 1827 and 28 April 1832. The record further stated that the land transaction is for a term of twenty years from the date of record, at expiration of 20 year term premises are to be equally divided amongst all the brothers and sisters of said William McMahill jr. to wit: Ambrose, Louisa, Robert, Sarah, James, John, Henry, Washington, and Jefferson McMahill all heirs and legal representatives of that John McMahill may have by his wife Susan late Susan Barnett. I now had Sarah McMahill with parents John and Susan (Barnett) McMahill, names of her siblings and a possible grandparent, Ambrose Barnett (Sarah also named a son Barnett) Further research may reveal that Susan (Barnett) McMahill was the daughter of Ambrose Barnett. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
