MORTGAGE: Shannon to Apperson, 1857, Montgomery County, KY -------------------- Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Shirley Gillespie Moore, http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00003.html#0000545 Date: 9 Sep 2002 -------------------- NOTE: I have tried to be as accurate as possible in the transcription of this document in regard to spellings, names, and initials. You may find obvious misspellings which I may or may not have noted by "sic", as I just sometimes found too many. And, within the same document, you may find different spellings for the same name which I made no attempt to discern which was the correct spelling. I recommend, however, that you look at the original document to verify all. If you would like a scan of the original copy, I would be glad to provide it to you.
