Here is a poor transcription from a Salt Lake City (Fam Hist Library) film of a Madison Co., KY deed. Christopher Harris, formerly of Louisa and Albemarle Cos., VA, m. 1st) Mary Dabney and 2) Agnes McCord. Christopher and Agnes migrated ca 1787 or prior to Madison Co., KY from Albemarle Co., VA. This deed is helpful in determining who some of the heirs were (Christopher allegedly had 17-19 children and not all appear in this deed) and which ones were deceased. It may help some of you in determining the maiden name of some of the wives of the signatories. At the beginning, punctuation has been added by this writer for legibility. I remember reading earlier that this land in Bourbon Co. had not been known to the heirs, and perhaps Samuel McMillin was the one who discovered it. Any information, y'all? Submitted by E.W.Wallace, a descendant of Overton Harris (d. 1827) who married Nancy Oldham, dau. of Richard Ready-Money Oldham by his first wife. Madison Co.
