Barren County Land Grants Beginning in 1798.
Many errors exist in the list of Barren County land grants; some dating back to the original list in 1925 by Willard Rouse Jillson and followed by various websites, often copied from each other. In this book I have attempted to correct errors not only in the spelling of names but in the location of the land. Over 2500 grants are shown which includes name, acreage, date of survey and location (nearest waterway in most instances). There are grants shown on land once in Barren County but now in Allen, Hart, Metcalfe and Monroe Counties before their formation. 50 pages plus a detailed explanation of the patent process which resulted in the grant issuance and a list of all the known waterways in all the counties involved.
