I found a Francis UNDERWOOD in E Licking River, Harrison Co KY, on
1820
census living near persons whose names appear on various later documents
(marriage
bond, land record sales, etc.) How would I go about finding a will or land
record or any additional information concerning this person.
My handy-dandy Handybook for Genealogists shows that the records of
Harrison County date from 1794. That's one court house that didn't burn
down, it seems, given that the County seat is in Cynthiana, Ky. the site
of many CW incidents.
I would send a letter and some money ($20 for copying, etc.) to the
Harrison County Clerk at 190 W. Pike Street, Cynthiana, KY 41031. Or, I'd
call them at 502-827-5671 to ask for rates. I'd ask for the
Grantor/Grantee records for the ancestor. Tell em you'd like a picture of
the whole page relating to that person.
