This can be tough - sometimes the conveyance happened via a will (with the property named or unnamed) or it may have been conveyed via a Power of Attorney. Assuming your assertion that Charles Walston was in KY by 1810 may help as you could sift through the WO records from 1791 to 1810 - a somewhat arduous task but not overwhelmingly so given the 19 years. BUT, maybe he did not sell the local land and conveyed it afterwards? Or, again, maybe he conveyed it in a will made in KY? Happy hunting - these are the 'fun' treks we make with genealogical research!

Pam, There's a deed in Liber X, p. 397 from Charles Walston (wife Nancy) of Worcester Co., Md., dated 18 October 1805, in which he sells 92 and three-quarter acres of "Riggins Addition" and 100 acres of "Content" for $200 to William Powell Senr., also of Worcester Co. Hope this is what you were looking for.
