While perusing an LDS film No. 252616 - Nicholas Co. KY Grantee Index to Deeds 1808-1882, I found these Oldham males listed as grantors (those selling property). There is not much detail in an index, since I did not note the dates. However, the earliest ones were 1808 or later. Perhaps from the Volume No [Letter not number]. of the Deed Book, you can estimate the year by accessing the list on the Family History Library catalog entry for Nicholas Co. and accessing Land Records. Bk A - p. 198 Clay, Green from Absaoum [sic] Oldham p. 378 Cobb, Jesse from Richard Oldham p. 381 same Cobb from John Oldham Bk B page 1 Clay, Green from Campbell & Oldham page 11 Cobb, Jesse from Absalum Oldham Bk C page 467 Clay, Green from Zere Oldham Bk F p. 136 Cobb, Jesse from Zere Oldham p. 181 Cobb, Jesse from M. Oldham & c Comment: I believe Green Clay was from Madison Co., Ky, and in fact, the other parties named above may also be found in some Madison Co. records. (*&C* in above refers to others, who are frequently heirs. Always take a second look at those deeds which have *& hrs* and *&c* after a person's name. Might make some interesting discoveries. Family History Library catalog states Nicholas was formed 1799, created from Bourbon and Mason counties. Some census searches may help narrow your search. I have found deeds frequently give me some family relationships. In Kentucky, in particular, commissioners deeds (indexed under C ) may give some wonderful details about your extended families. A commissioner was frequently appointed by a probate court to help heirs of a deceased landowner make decisions about the sale or disposal of the property. Look for this info in the deed indexes, a great help for Kentucky (and most southern) research. Submitted by E.W.Wallace
