Seeking ancestry of my great-grat-grandfather, Lewis Williams, b. circa 1814
in Kentucky. A Lewis Williams married Melinda Price December 1, 1810 in Harrison
County, Kentucky. That would make them eligible to have a son b. 1814 or
so, who could have been named after his father. Would appreciate hearing
from anyone with info on the family of Lewis and Melinda and Price Williams.

I need a lookup in Harrison County, Kentucky deeds. Can anyone help? Samuel
McKee, who died in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1813. He left a tract of land
in Harrison County, Kentucky to Clary (or Clarey McKee), daughter of his
late son William McKee. Samuel McKee had purchased the land ca 1801. I've
been unable to trace Clary (or Clarey) McKee. Would appreciate it if someone
would be able to check deeds and let me know under what name the land entered
after Samuel McKee's estate was settled. I assume the granddaughter eventually
married and may or may not have remained in Harrison County, Kentucky.
