LAND GRANT: James Y. CARPENTER, Warren County, Kentucky

From:  Mark Hinton - mhinton@brownwshoe.com
Date:  March 8, 2002

Transcribed from the original document which I have in my possession.  
Although I'm not related to him, the document ended up in the 
possession of Joseph Hinton, my 3rd great-grandfather.  Most likely he 
purchased the land directly from Mr. Carpenter or as part of the 
land he later purchased from John M. Billingsley.
