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 deeds in the deed book. Although I may have additional information about some of the families, I have nothing more from the deed books than you will find here - no need to ask. Some of the abstracts are little more than the name of the grantor - I just wanted to record a wife's name or make note that person was present at that time. 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. The Logan County deeds are rich in information - your ancestor may be mentioned many times in records that I did not abstract. In many cases I did not abstract all the names in a document - although if the witnesses are listed, it's likely I did so. Dates given are dates of the original transaction - I may or may not have noted the date the deed was recorded, which is not always the same. If the residence of the grantor/grantee is not stated in the abstract, it was Logan County. Personal comments or notes are in brackets.
