My 6th GGF Michael Wallace's will, entered in court April 1808, mentions a "graveyard" on his property (when describing land division among children). It is described near a "drain" and "Branch", but no name of the major watercourse is given. I must research later deeds (from children to others) to learn more. This Wallace family was in old Lincoln, then Madison Co, and later Garrard after all the new counties were taken from old. The fact that the land was eventually in Garrard, gives good clues. The survey of the original Old Virginia Land entry might show me more about the waterway. I have located many old family "graveyards" by reading deeds, wills, etc., and hope to find this one.

Mary Alice, you may have to search how Michael Wallace got his land. I doubt his getting it via the Virginia Land Commission 1779-1780 as I cannot find his name in the published Certificate book. Nor can I find it Jillson's Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds, Lincoln Co. 1779-1787; Military Warrants 1782-1793; Military Entries 1784-1797, nor Court of Appeals Deeds Grantees 1783-1846. If his land was in eastern Garrard Co. it was most likely on the waters of Paint Lick Creek and those waters covered quite a length of territory from south to north east of a dividing ridge almost in the center of the county south to near north. Original surveys adjacent to the Wallace Mill road area and in Garrard Co. are the names of Joseph Scott (Madison Co.), Robert Henderson (Madison and Garrard), Wm. Miller (Garrard), James Thompson (Garrard), Nathaniel Hart (Garrard), etc. GRT ----- Original Message ----- From: "M. A.
