Note: To obtain copies of any of the Wills indexed below, you may either order the microfilm from the KY Archives or obtain microfilm # 979610 from the LDS Library for viewing at your local LDS Library.

Below is the Will of Ashford W. Violett, who owned considerable property when he died and described each piece of property in some detail, giving us helpful information locations within the County. Throughout the Wills there are interesting pieces of information on what properties were know as, who neighbors were at a given time and, of course, family connections.

Please contact Crystal with any corrections. Since these were all handwritten, we may have errored on spelling names.
