Hello,
I have bought some property in Barbourville up Turkey Creek which was owned by my best friends family for many years and has been passed down from generation to generation. My best friends Great, Great grandparents once owned the property which is Addison & Rhoda Merida. They then must have divorced and sold or had given the property to Lily (their daughter), which is my best friends GG Grandmother. Lily married Edward Valentine. The propertywas then sold or given to Lily & Edward's son John Valentine. John Valentine must have given or sold the property to his daughter Shelly Valentine and her husband Criss Abner which is my best friends grandmother and grandfather. It then was passed down to their children and then of course to my best friend. To make such a long story short, I am very interested in finding more information out about the previous owners and history of my property. I am dedicating a wall in my home and would like to fill it with old photos and historical documentsabout all the previous land owners and need photos or more information about them. While clearing this land there was many historical things found including a slave rock wall and possible foundation of an old plantation.
If you have any info that you would liek to share, pelase email me.
Thanks, Kathy
