I have the following info from: Mercer Co VA Deed Book 3 p616 Daniel Straley and Polly his wife conveyed to Alexander Mahood for six hundred fifty dollars, town lots on Walkers Street, Princeton WV, being the first lot north of the town spring and designated in the plan of the said town as lot 24 and lot 23, as well as three lots of 2 acre each lying on the opposite west side of Walker Street, adjoining each other, known as lots 17, 18 and 19. Alas, I can't find this info in my personal library & I need the date that this conveyance was recorded. Can someone save me from my stupidity? Even knowing the dates that Deed Book 3 encompasses would be a help. Daniel Straley died in 1857. Anyone else out there researching this family? Thanks, Judy Gabor
