Two announcements for you: Timothy Mullin To Do Appraisals at Historical Society Meeting. Here is a chance for Barren County area residents to learn about that mysterious intriguing item hiding or stored in the closet! Maybe it is the one that was passed down through the family, or was a real bargain at a yard sale! Kentucky Museum Director, Timothy Mullin will be available to appraise antiques and collectibles at the meeting of the South Central KY Historical and Genealogical Society at their regular meeting on Thursday evening, July 24th at the Mary Wood Weldon Library, 6 pm-8 pm. This event is sponsored by the Society and is free to the public. Mullin will be appraising a wide variety of antiques. His specialty areas include fine arts, furniture, ceramics, glassware, vintage photographs, advertising, folk art, toys, clocks and costume jewelry. Even if you don't have an item to be appraised, come join us and see what interesting items others have brought! There will be a short business meeting first to elect officers of the Society for the coming year. Second: I finished the Warren County Land Grant book - This book is set up similar to the ones for Allen, Barren, Green, Hart, Metcalfe and Monroe Counties. It shows the name of the grant applicant, the acreage applied for, the date the land was surveyed and the location of the land based on the nearest waterway. There are over 3,000 grants listed here with corrections made (when possible) to the original listings done so many years ago and lists that have been published since. This includes corrections on names primarily. If a name was in error, it is difficult to find the ancestor! Also included is a list of waterways in current Warren Co and progressive maps on the boundary changes of the county from its formation in 1797. Grants start in 1797 and run through 1920. It is in alphabetical order so no indexing is necessary. For more information, contact me privately. I didn't plan ahead all that well; some have asked to see Edmonson Co. This is a smaller county grant wise and I likely will publish it as a booklet in the near future. That will end up the land grant series. See you tomorrow when we start to finish up the location of Hart Co cemeteries.
