Johnson, Floyd & Lawrence County Kentucky 

Land Grants and Warrents for my surnames of

Castle, Daniel, Dorton, Gearheart, Graham, Pelfrey, Preston,

VanHoose, Vaughan and Witten

I have copied these records from the book

"Johnson County Kentucky" by C Mitchel Hall

note* According to C Mitchel Hall's book these records cover the period 1782-1927
Johnson County was made from Floyd County in 1844 so that no Floyd County
grant will appear after that date but only those of Johnson County
