Book excerpt: From the Preface The abstracts in this compilation were made from microfilmed copies of the original records of Grant Harrison, and Pendleton Counties, Kentucky by the compiler, Janet K. Pease of Arvada, Colorado. Included in the probate abstracts for Grant County are wills, sale bills, dower andestate divisions, and estate settlements. Omitted were inventories of estate property, unless large numbers of accounts/notes were involved in which people's names were mentioned. The two probate books abstracted for Grant County cover the years 1820-1845. All the wills in Harrison County Will Books A through F, 1795-1853 were abstracted. In addition, all sale bills through 1815 plus names of all purchasers were included. A few sale bills after 1815 for those families from this county in whom the compiler was particularly interested were included. Names copied as found; the county clerk/recorder occasionally had poor handwriting and spelled the same name in diffreent ways in the same document, for example, Conrad/Coonrod. Six will books were abstracted and cover the period 1795-1853. The abstracts for Pendleton County were taken from two order books. From Order Book A, the compiler abstracted every name found although not every word in the order it was copied. From Order Book B, the compiler abstracted only items of genealogical interest such as estate proceedings, sale bills, guardianships, and delinquent tax lists. Items not abstracted were those regarding road work, road surveying crews, and night patrollers. Name indexes were prepared by the compiler for the three groups of county records abstracted. These indexes have been edited and merged into a master index to cover Kentucky County Court Records -- Grant, Harrison, Pendleton -- Volume I by John B. Conrad and Helen Steinmetz.
