I have a land deed from my family in kentucky mentioning an estate of Robert Rhea, just thought I would share.
i transcribed this the best I could, no punctuation, spelling errors, breaks in words, etc. all true to the original document that I have.
This indenture made and entered onto the 4th day
of June 1856 Between Philip J. Simons of the
one part and Mary I Smith wife of Washing
ton B Smith of the other part Both of the
County of Hopkins and state of Kentucky Witness
eth that the said Simons for and in consideration
of the Love and affection which he bears to the
said Mary I Smith his daughter and for the further
consideration of one dollar to him in hand paid
by the said Mary I Smith hath granted bargained
and sold & by these parents doeth grant bargain
sell and convey unto the said Mary I Smith during
her natural life and at her death to the heir of
her body forever a piece of parcel of ground
situate lying and being in the county and state aforesaid
in the addition to the town of Madisonville con
taining one acre being the same conveyed to said
Simons by Edward W. R. Woolfolk & wife (see Deed
Book No 7 P 371) & where the said Mary I Smith
And her husband lately rendered and bound to as fol
lows to wit Beginning on a stake the South
West corner of a tract containing Seven acres
more or less of which the acre hereby conveyed is
a part heretofore conveyed by B.R. Bacon to said
Woolfolk (See Deed Book No. 5 P. 400) and which
is the corner of a lot of ground belonging to the estate
of Robert Rhea and precisely where the line of
Survey lately owned by Alfred King*
intersects the Northern Edge of the street or road
leading through Madisonville to Steuben Sick run
ning then a North said line seventy yard to a
stake in said line then a East seventy yards
then a South Seventy yards to a stake in the
North edge of said road or street then a West
*Italic writing is due to this line being written in between the lines
above and below it. Not on a line itself, apparently a correction to who the
land now belongs to.
Alfred King is believed to be the brother of Delia King, first wife of Philip J. Simons
and mother of Mary I. Simons Smith. Delia King did have a brother named Alfred King,
but I have yet to prove this is that exact Alfred King.
