Dear Nedra, After reading your description regarding the Upper Tract, I wondered if you could help me out with some directions. I would like to visit the region my 4xg grandfather, Sam Day owned between 1786-1805. According to Sims Index, Sam Day was awarded 150 acres on the North Fork of the Upper Tract at Clay Lick in Pendleton Co. I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Also, would the library and courthouse in Franklin have any records around 1780-1800 on property owners in this region??
