I have two microfilm reels of District Court land trials, which covers several counties - Fayette, Madison, etc., concerning trials starting about 1790 thru 1810. This is referred to as "The Complete Record Book", but is not "complete" for the whole state. I purchased these reels of film from the KY Library Archives in Frankfort. A couple of years ago, I ordered a LDS microfilm, "Depositions in Land Trials of Garrard Co", and if you check the catalog, perhaps there are films specifically for Madison trials. In the very early years, the entire Bluegrass area was "lumped" together when people made their land entries before the Land Commissioners, so when surveyed were divided generally only into the three original counties - Lincoln, Jefferson, Fayette..

Mary Alice; are these films still available? Cost? Address to order? Reel numbers? I would use them so much, I think, I would hate to bother you with request. You have been so nice guiding me thru my Madison Co. searches. Was there ever a manufacture's census of the area? Cousins said Grissom Lee 178?-1860 was listed as maker of spinning wheels but did not give a full citation( something not done in her days).
