Dear Researchers, While trolling through the pages of FHL microfilm #0183279 (Madison Co., KY Grantor Deed Index Vols. A-K 1787-1899) I found these entries for one Robert Burton, grantor. Robert Burton, if I remember my genealogical/historical research of Granville Co., NC was married to Agatha Williams, only heir of John Williams, Esq. (the Judge) and his wife Agnes [Bullock] [widow of George Keeling]. John Williams (d. ca 1799 in Granville Co., NC) was one of the proprietors of Boonesborough, and, as such, probably retained some property in Madison Co., which Agatha Burton (and her spouse) inherited. What are your thoughts? (Burton is not my direct line, but a collateral line. I am descended from Judge Williams's brother William Williams, who died testate at Boonesborough ca 25 Dec 1775, and from his only surviving son, Samuel Farrar Williams (b. 1759 Granville Co., NC-d. ca 1838 Henderson Co., KY.) Grantor's name is first; grantee's second; the book & page are third; date made and date recorded and the item being conveyed (al means others) Burton, Robert - Allen Burton - Deed A-64 Mar 22, 1787, Oct 23, 1787 - slave Burton, Robert - David McCord - C-244; Apr 1, 1794, Oct 7, 1794 - 1000 A Otter Creek Burton, Robert - Lucy Searcy - C-671, Mar 31, 1794, Mar 1, 1796 - 500 A Otter Creek Other comments: I suspect David McCord is related to Agnes McCord Harris, second wife of the elder Christopher Harris, and the Harrises came from Albemarle Co., VA to Madison Co., KY, along with a goodly number of progeny. Lucy Searcy is the widow of Bartlett Searcy, and they were previously residents of Granville Co., NC. She and her children remained in Madison Co., KY. She has other deeds recorded in Madison Co., and a number of her children were married there. E.W.Wallace If anyone belongs to a Burton list, please forward this message to it. Genealogists should always be interested in deeds, which frequently give relationships.
