Notes:
Dear Sherri,
I have read the microfilm of the Owen Co. Deed Book A, page 338, May
17, 1823. Dorothy Merrifield is correct. Lot #1 in the town of Owenton was
deeded to Daniel Lett by the town trustees, Van Allen, Bacon, Wingate,
Adams, and Snell. It appears that Lett purchased the lot at public auction
for $20.
There is a Lett family file contained in the Owen County Historical
Society Collection here which contains information on "Fielding Lett, Farmer
and his descendants" compiled by Louise Lett, 1955. On page nine she writes:
"Some time between the years of 1805 and 1809 one Daniel Lett left
Wilkes county, Georgia, and went into the state of Tennessee, where he
located for a short time on the Clinck River, in Union county. Later he took
his family to Pendleton county, Kentucky. This part of Pendleton county was
later included in Owen county. Owen county, Kentucky, was made from parts of
Gallatin, Franklin, Scott and Pendleton counties.
Daniel Lett, Sr., is found on the tax list of Gallatin county in the
year 1819. In the year 1820 Daniel Lett, Sr., Daniel Lett, Jr, and Balaam
Lett are found on the tax list of Owen county. After the year 1820, Daniel
Lett, Sr. is no longer found on a tax lest and it is supposed that he died
soon after that year and is buried in Owen county, Kentucky.
On tax lists for the years 1821, 1822, 1823 the names of Daniel
Lett, Balaam Lett and Sampson Lett are found on Owen county. These men were
brothers and sons of Daniel Lett, Sr.
In the year 1823 Daniel Lett, Jr., bought a lot in the town of
Owenton, Kentucky, which he sold in the year 1834---October 29th to the
Trustees of the Baptist church on which they built a church. The church
still stands on this lot."
I hope this information is of some value to you.
Sincerely,
Bettina Somerville

Subject: Owen co Deed book entry checked, please
Dear Librarian,
I have been given information on a land transaction that varies from
information in a family history. In the family history, Daniel Lett granted
land to the trustees of a Baptist church on 17 May 1823....According to a
book of abstracted information by Dorothy Merrrifield, the Owenton township
trustees deeded land to Lett. Daniel Lett was a relatively wealthy man, he
later moved to Jennings county IN, and left a healthy estate to his family
in
his 1837 will. I would very much like to have someone check the original
deed
book (or a photocopy, if one exists) and tell me what the deed actually
says.
This is the info from the Merrifield book:
Owen co, KYDeed Book A, page 338, May 17 1823James Van Allen, John C.
Bacon, Cyrus Wingate, Reuben Adams, and John Snell, trustees of the town of
Owenton, deeded Lot #1 in the town of Owenton to Daniel Lett [or Jett].
Thank you,
Sherri Abromavage
