The abstracts and transcriptions were made from LDS Microfilm while researching several families in Logan Co, KY. They consist primarily of families that were of interest to me and are certainly not all the entries. Although I may have additional information about some of the families, I have nothing more from the court entries than you will find here - no need to ask. These are the court orders and do not contain the documents referred to in the orders. Some of the abstracts are little more than the name - I just wanted to make note that person was present at that time. There are often multiple court actions for the same date. It is likely I made errors, either in typing or interpreting poor filming or handwriting, so if you find your family, you may want to view the film for yourself. Personal comments are in brackets.
