1786 May 9 – Surveyed for Walter Chisholm 680 acres of land by virtue of part of an entry of 1000 acres made on a Treasury Warrant No. 17,745 situate lying and being in the County of Lincoln and on the N Fork of the Roling Fork of Salt River and bounded as followeth (to wit) Beginning at a Northwest corner of a survey made for the heir of Silas Harlan decd at 3 white oak trees at … on a ridge thence with said Harlans line … with Briscoes line … to … Briscoes corner … on John Flourneys line to his corner … to William Hardwick corner … binding on the knobs to … the heirs of Jacob Harlans north corner … to Harlans line … to the beginning. Chain Carriers: Robert Eairs, George Harlan. Signed: James Thompson, SLC. (Thanks to W. Atkinson for sharing this information).

(Note: As seen in the survey, the land was originally warranted to Walter Chisholm. Walter Chisholm assigned this land warrant to William Chisholm (who appears to be his brother). William Chisholm must have sold the rights to this land – as neither William or Walter has any record of ever moving to Kentucky, or leaving Virginia)

Green County, Kentucky – created from Lincoln County, KY in 1793
