Good Morning,
Glad to see some movement on the Carrico line:
Here is the will of father,
SOURCE-WILL OF FATHER:
Linda (Rasp) Boorom <lboorom(a)fuse.net>
Wills of Washington County Kentucky (1792-1858)
Compiled by: Annie Walker Burns Bell R. 1 Bx. 119, Bennings, Washington, D.
C. 1986
Note: this book is typewritten all caps, but I have decided not to transcribe
the publication in this manner. Beware that this is no longer a “primary
source” as this will be it’s 3rd (or more) transcription from the original. The
first transcription being what was transcribed from the original will into the
court records (no copier’s or scanners back then!).
