Author: waroper Surnames: Roper Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1898.9/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Frank: There is an indication within a published secondary compilation of Warrent County, KY, deed abstracts that George ROPER recorded a deed of sale of slaves in March 1806. The abstract says: "174 Geo ROPER and wife Blanche to Jas. BURCH. negroes $1000. Wit. Geo. GRAHAM. Chas WADDLE. 3-ii-1806 [sic]" Warren County, Kentucky, Deeds, Books A-C (1797-1807) See: https://archive.org/stream/warrencountykent00slsn#page/n104/mode/1up * It should be noted (a) there may be OTHER mentions within the Warren Deeds, and (b) the underlying PRIMARY RECORD should be consulted, since it might very well include some details omitted from the abstract. The original of this abstract, clearly typed on an ancient manual typewriter and lacking the clarity necessary for good Optical Character Recognition. There may be other mentions in the ONLINE version but finding them will require a page by page inspection. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
