Dear Ira, Recently, you wrote inquiring about Barnabas Harris, one of the numerous children of Christopher Harris the elder, who died testate ca 1798 in Madison Co., KY. Christopher had two wives: Mary Dabney and Agnes McCord. This conveyance does not state who the mothers of the heirs were, but there is some indication that Barnabas Harris was either absent or deceased, as Overton Harris was his attorney. At least, that is my interpretation. If that is incorrect, please let me know. I did a google.com search for one of the names--I think it was Overton Harris--and discovered this transcription of a Madison Co., KY deed which I discovered and transcribed, to the best of my ability, some time ago. I had not remembered that it had been posted. I hope this answers some of your questions. Those Madison Co. KY deed books are marvelous for untangling some family relationships (and family fights), but a lot of analysis needs to be done.
