KY court record dated Apr 27, 1880? Or an abstract? A short summary of a Rev War bounty land application based upon the service of John CHESHIRE references this Mason Co. KY court record. No other details provided in the summary. This court record probably contains the testimony of an individual of a marriage or death of one of John's descendants or states family relationships, etc. and very important for me to locate. The Rev War application itself has not been located. John served in the VA State Navy and died in Prince William County in 1779. Many records of this Virginia county no longer exist and it has been difficult to research my ancestor, John, for this reason. I don't have a page number for the court record but the date of April 27, 1880 should narrow this down to a few pages, and CHESHIRE should be mentioned in the record itself. Other surnames that are associated with John are: KEYS, LYNN, SIMMONS, AUSTIN, HAYNIE. Help greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Jeanne Johnson
