BARREN COUNTY SURVEYS

Abstracted from Old Surveys Barren County, Kentucky 1799-1835,
Edmund Rogers & Daniel Curd, by Vivian Rousseau and Sandra K. Gorin, (c) 1990. Posted here with permission.

Edmund Rogers, the Virginian who was sent into this area to lay out the land that had been appropriated for the soldiers and officers of the Revolutionary War, kept all his surveys in a huge book. This information is taken from my book on the Edmund Rogers and Daniel Curd surveys (he the county surveyor).

Abbreviations: cc means chain carrier. HK is housekeeper. Lines means adjacent properties. Name is the name of man having land surveyed. Date is the year of survey. M is marker.

Starting surveys along Beaver Creek. There are so many of these, they are in no particular order. Since most of these are quite old, and there are property lines referred to of people not in Barren Co - they are likely referring back to surveys made in Green, Logan and Warren Co.
