My Notes:  There were two Nathaniel Felts living in Logan Co at this time.  
They have been confused and often combined as one man. The one named as a son 
of Archibald, in this will, was I believe born about 1804, married Nancy 
Hammond, 2 Jan 1837 in Warren Co, KY.  He is sometimes seen with the middle 
initial as Nathaniel W. Felts.  His family can be found still in Logan Co in 
the 1850 census.
Another Nathaniel Felts of Logan Co KY always wrote his name as Nathaniel H. 
Felts - he was born 17 Feb 1788, married Elizabeth H. Haden, daughter of James 
& Rebecca Morton Haden, in May of 1825, and they moved to Mississippi before 
October of 1835.  I believe this man was a son of Augustine Felts, brother of 
the above Archibald.  Felts researchers report the father of Archibald and 
Augustine was also a Nathaniel Felts which explains the use of this name.  
Augustine left a will in 1831, Logan Co WB E, p.2, that did not name his 
children, but a descendant of the Felts family has said there was some sort of 
estate settlement record which includes Nathaniel H. Felts and three daughters.
