Can anyone help me understand what is happening with the land mentioned below? Burrell Drummond died intestate in 1791 and had lands inherited from his father, Stephen Drummond; Burrell's widow, Naomi (Selby) Drummond remarried in 1794 and was widowed again by 1797. I'm wondering if their son, Parker Drummond b. 1791 and only son, ever received his inheritance. He and his sisters, Elizabeth "Betsy" and Mary Alice "Polly" were in Bourbon Co, KY by 1807. No idea what happened to Naomi after 1799. Burrell's sisters were Esther, Peggy, Nancy, Rose (or one person, "Nancy Rose") and Elizabeth Drummond, who stayed in Worcester Co. Not sure who "Kitty Drummond" is -- another sister of Burrell's ?

If Naomi marries again, she may possess the said land until Parker is of age and if she does not marry, she may possess the land for her lifetime. <*note: "Peggy" was a mistake by the recording clerk as Esther Drummond, daughter of Naomi & Burrell, was the sister married to Ruark -- she is correctly recorded later, below> Book T, p 390 Grantor: Elijah Tilghman; Grantee: Elgett Ruark 11 Nov 1799  recorded 13 Nov 1799 For 12 pounds tract called Turner Choice that Stephen Drummond ("the father of Elizabeth") died seized of.
