It is an abstract from the "Cook book" I mentioned. Thought you would want to get a copy of this deed from Ohio Co. courthouse. This is indexed as JESSE ASHLEY DEED BOOK C, page 89 3 October 1807. MATHEW WALTON of WASHINGTON County to JESSE ASHLEY in consequence of an agreement between him and ROBERT CALDWELL that binds Caldwell to convey a debt on LOUALLEN JONES and CHARLES IRBY, conveys to ASHLEY 1,000 acres on Rough Creek. JACOB LEAY, JESSE HEAD, witnesses. Recorded 5 October 1807 This seems to relate to my post of an abstract of Deed Book C, page 242, 11 July 1808 whereby JESSE & TAMOR ASHBY convey 50 acres on Rough Creek to Thomas Ross. The 50 acres being part of 1,000 acres deeded to Ashby by MATHEW WALTON. Two things come to mind in reading these abstracts. One is - Waltons Creek in Ohio Co. Is there a connection to Mathew Walton? Second is - Rossville in Ohio Co. Either you or Oscar or someone posted info re. Rossville on Rough Creek (north side I think?) Is there a connection between the Jesse Ashby land, Thomas Ross and Rossville? As you know, the actual deed would likely give a detailed description of the land and maybe answer questions or raise more.
