Hedges, Charles  and wife Elizabeth to William Northcut
October 27,1821

..a certain tract or parcel of land containing twenty five acres two roads and thirty six poles situate lying and being in the county of Bourbon aforesaid and on the waters of Houston it being a part of James Galtoways settlement and ? and is the same land that was conveyed to said Charles Hedges by Mathia Seiner and Elizabeth his wife on the twenty fifth day of February 1812 and bound as follows to wit Beginning at two boxelders and a buckeye near a branch and comer to George Hootsel thence South twenty six and a half degrees East seventy and six tenth poles to a planted stone supposed to be in Galloways original land a fallen buckeye and forked walnut near the said stone and marked as a comer thence North sixty three and a half degrees East fifty eight and seven tenth poles to a planted stone and corner to said Northcut thence with his line North twenty six degrees West sixty nine and a half poles to another planted stone of one of said Hootsels comers and thence with Hootsels line South sixty four and one fourth degrees West fifty nine poles to the Beginning...


Notes: Benjamin Hancock to George Hustell. It was pronounced Hootsel above. Charles Smith to Levi Crose  There was an entry for a sale from James Galloway to Benjamin Hancock but this was not available on microfilm. I would need to order it directly from the Bourbon County Courthouse.

This is off the subject but it may be important. I found a land entry from Alonzo McKenzie to Gibson Motor Co. and there may be more. I would need to double check this. I think this is interesting because Wharton McKinsey had a son named Lorenzo A.? There is a marriage from an Alonzo McKenzie to Elizabeth Ledford on June 21, 1896 in Crittenden, KY. I always wondered if this might be Lorenzo A( son of Wharton)
