This deed is from Alexander Stevenson and his wife, Elizabeth Gilmore Stevenson to Samuel Asher. The William Stevenson mentioned in property lines is the eldest son of Alexander and Elizabeth.
Alexander & Elizabeth Stevenson are my ancestors. I don't have any further information on the Asher family but wanted to post this here to help other Caldwell Co., KY researchers.
