Subject: RANE STATON'S ESTATE SALE,CUMBERLAND COUNTY KY, 1842


NOTES:

The fractions of a penny are shown as decimals, but they were
recorded
as1/4 and 1/2 of a cent, but, of course, my keyboard no longer has
fractions on the keyboard like a typewriter.

John Rane's daughter, Nancy Snell Staton Philpot Sewell was secretary
for
the sale, and I have a handwrittenn copy in which probably was hers.
I
intend to copy the hand writing of the sale with the conty clerk's
writing.

I left mathematical and grammatical errors as they were written.

If you grew up in Cumberland County, reading the buyers' names will
seem
like old home week.

They prices have inflated since that era takes my breath. Imagine all
the live stock and homefurnishings beingsole for a few dollars and
cents,
and the total sale receipts were less than one good beef cow now.

Notice that each day of the sale is stated twice, which may indicate
that
that the date is correct. Elsewhere the date for John Rane's death is
given as 1843, but it is clear that he died in either 1842 or 1843.
